Alignment
Rebuilding my front end local Firestone has a 4 wheel alignment rack should I go for all 4 or just let them do the front, I guess what I'm asking is a 4 wheel the same on newer cars as it would be on my 75

I would make sure they actually know how to do it on the C3 and have done them before. Also, if you use them, make sure you look at the adjustments before/after to make sure they actually did the work. The one in my area has been caught ripping people off but hopefully that's not company prcatice!

but not only on a C3.... if your rear wheels are off then it doesn't matter what car you have....

The rear has had some work in the past the front is only being rebuild because one control arm bushing (lower) was hanging out of is hole it was torn also everything else was good just has age so while I'm at it it's gonna be all new the whole kit 200 and change my labor and "it's on"!

Definitely do them all. Make sure they hit the marks exactly, though. The first shop that did mine got them all "within tolerance" and it was really squirrily. I brought it to another shop and they got it right. Joe
