Alignment
I recently was making a left turn in the snow and the right wheel hit the curb. The Ex now needs an alignment as the steering wheel is slightly cockeyed.
I purchased a groupon for an oil change/alignment. When I went yesterday they said they couldn't soothe alignment because the right upper and lower ball joints were 1/8 inch off. Now I have had my mechanic look at the BJs before and he told me they were fine.
In your opinion is the shop correct or do I need to replace them. The said they rate them on a 3 point scale and mine were a 1.5 out of 3.
Opinions?

You are talking about 2 different things. Have another shop look at the B-joints. They will often do it free if they thing they can get a job out of it but by they same token they might make them seem worse than they are.
Did the shop that said your BJ's were bad say anything about your rear axle being knocked outta wack?
