Hi,
Agreed! These cars use pretty flimsy suspension components (Alloy) compared to cars of yesteryear, primarily to save weight and increase Range.
Most people don't realize that there is no Service Interval on an alignment. Hit a Pothole, SpeedBump or even a Parking Curb on the way home from the Alignment Shop and you can throw the whole thing off again.
It is an As Needed item which should at least be checked Annually. This will insure that you're getting maximum wear from your Tires and that the car is properly controllable and a Pleasure to drive.
You should always get a printout from any Alignment and save them. This allows you to track any wear over time to the suspension components...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
