If there try to take into a car repair place for a front end alignment is it safe enough to drive it there? I'm 30 miles from the nearest town. If it is ball joints or tie rod ends is it expensive?

Hi there,

This will have to be inspected first hand to determine whether its safe or not. I suggest you have a mechanic or someone with experience inspect if you are not sure. It is better to be safe rather risk a potential danger. Ball joints & tie rod ends & relatively inexpensive items, the labour component will be around 3-4 Hrs depending on how much is replaced.
