Took my car to Tom's Tire Pros to get my car re aligned.
When they looked up my year model car... it showed the GT having IRS and the Couple having solid rear axle.
Went throught this whole hub bub of them thinkin I had a car that might have a Gt engine but a coupe (what they thought was v6) rear axle for some reason.
I was positive the 2005-2009 GT's all had solid rear axle.
So I had them call the ford house to verify.
Ford house guy said yes the GT's came with solid rear axle.
For some reason these GT's are listed as GT coupes (and not for vert/coupe differences). So you have to follow the "coupe" as far as getting a kit for the alignment and not "GT".
Very odd stuff that made me uncomfortable.
I asked them to check and make sure they did not enter the wrong year model car... so that they could make sure they got the right kit for re aligning it.
(Just in case the IRS thing was due to a year model typo in the computer)
He said they double checked and that they got the right year model but for some reason the computer has the cars listed that way.
I just hope they DID get the right year model in there.
What if they got the wrong year model?
Will it matter if they use a different year model kit to re align the car as long as it is solid rear axle just like my car?
If they did that would the kit just not fit? Or would it work but mess up my car?
