Default Alignment Questions

Recently replaced my lower control arms and went to get a price for an alignment. The Mavis quoted me 130 for the fronts because it's their luxury car pricing, I passed. Then said they can do just the toe on the fronts for 80, I passed but then I thought.

The car as far as I know as no adjustments for Camber or caster so where they hell do they get pricing from.

My RX7 with full suspension didn't cost that much to get alignment.

An alignment thread, good!

I am imaging my 07 460 is pulling a tad to the left and have a note to look into an alignment.

So what exactly is aligned? Control arms? Is it simply a matter of moving the toe in or out on the wheels, I have no idea what I am talking about.

An alignment for a car is typically just an adjustment to the toe. This is done at the time rod end.

For me I was so thrown by the attempt to swindle me out of 130 for a front wheel alignment, that's not even all 4 wheels, that I had to check an make sure I wasn't the one trippin
