during alignment to a 2006 nissan frontier, the shop claims tierods need to be
replaced as "they drift back 10 degrees after we lock the adjustment bolts", left
front was off 20 degrees, right front off 25 degrees
the odd thing is, the car has only 7000 miles - can the tierods really be bad so soon?
in case it matters, the shop was a local tire kingdom |

Very unlikely. I'd try a different shop. They should also be covered by
the warranty. |

Sounds like total BS. A 2006 with 7000 miles is still fully in the warranty
period (unless there is evidence of an accident). Take it to the dealer >> Stay informed about: nissan frontier tierod(s) |

If the tie rods are defective they are covered under the Bumper to Bumper 3
year Nissan warranty.
Sounds like someone is trying it on. Never heard of "drifting back" with tie
rods. Anyhow tie rods adjust the toe in/tow out, its not measured in
degrees. Do yourself and your truck a favour and take it to a Nissan Dealer.

How hard is this? Pop the balljoint tapers and wiggle the tierod ends by
hand. If wear is present, it will be abundantly obvious.
Word to the wise: go to your Nissan dealer, not some aftermarket outfit
operated by simians. Why on earth would you trust a still-warranteed 2006
vehicle to the <gag> aftermarket?

Go to a different shop. Tires with toe off by 20 and 25 degrees
(totalling either 5 or 45 degrees) would squeal even driving on a
straight line, and i bet that was not the case.
Normal toe ranges from 0 degrees to fractions of a degree.

Look, the bottom line here is the so called "shop" you took it to does not
know what the hell they are doing and they are trying to rip you off.
Besides , if you read your warranty information , you'd find out that
alignments are covered for 12 months or 12k miles from the vehicles in
service date. That means no MONEY from you .
take it to the dealer and let them align it
