Alignment problem

Not an answer but an agreement... our 2006 LS has had an alignment problem since we got it (used with 19,000 miles, not over 120,000). We have to replace at least 1 tire, if not 2, about once a year and have the alignment reset then. Wish I knew why... mechanics say it's typical with most small cars.

You probably didn't get the alignment done right. You should take it to National Tire and Battery or Merchant Tire to get that alignment done right. Never replace that control arm, because you could cause more problems with the alignment than what you already have. Alignment can run you about $150.00 or so, and it comes free when you buy tires at NTB or Merchant Tire.
