If I remember right, click on your username. Hit "View Public Profile". You will see a tab "About Me". Hit it. You should be able to edit your location.

I just did that but it doesn't show in my avitar. It only shows if you visit my profile. I want it to show under my member since like yours does.

I just changed mine and it worked. Did you hit save? Not sure what the problem is. Maybe someone else will assist.

Not sure what is wrong. In the screen shot of yours click in the right corner hit "View your about me as seem by everyone else". Make sure you put something in the "City" tab. Make changes there and save.

Check out the PM I sent you.

Now were talking, I guess like you said you have to also enter a city. Thanks for all the help. Back to the topic at hand!

I am headed to RT 66 Tire tomorrow morning and hopefully will get a PFADT alignment.

My question, if successful, will I be the first person in Okla to get a PFADT alignment or first person in the USA?

Inquiring minds want to know.




(and it's no slam dunk that I'll get it done tomorrow) (I wonder if Russel Westbrook could get a PFADT alignment? probably)

finally got the alignment done. Rt 66 did it & gave me a read out. Charged me $100 which was their normal price. Most of the discount shops want $70.

Most concerning, my left front was down to the inside cord when I replaced tires but all the specs were within factory, the toe was .05 deg (now zero). Now the right front (the one I replaced last year due to hitting a pot hole) was way out at .53 deg (now zero). Last year when I replaced the right front they supposedly checked the alignment as "good."

I really can't explain why the left front was worn so badly given that the alignment was "green" and within factory specs. In fact, other than the right front toe, everything was "green."

Now I have everything very close or right on PFADT. A couple of measurements were one significant digit next to true and all the rest are right on now.

I can't tell much difference driving the car. It goes straight & comfy with new tires + PFADT.
