Few months back I finally ripped out 150k mile old suspension bits and replaced nearly everything I could get my hands on.

I was hoping to see a slight mileage improvement with that yet this has never materialized.

Unfortunately due to youthful ignorance I neglected to install new LCAs/Ball joints, tie rods, trans mount, and the front motor mount.

I'm getting ready to install the items and go for a proper alignment and was wondering if I should expect to see an improvement in mileage.

At least this will hopefully quieten the front end as right know it sounds like my wheels are going to fall off when I hit any bumps.

Thanks All

If you didn't get it aligned before I would think you'll see an improvement. be sure to go somewhere that will really do an alignment and not just adjust toe.

yes poor alignment, worn suspension components and tires all make a big difference in mileage
