Three weeks ago, I had an alignment done on a 1997 Saab, 112K mi. I also asked them to straighten the steering wheel since it had been off about 10 degrees ever since I had shocks & springs replaced two years ago. I waited for it and when it was ready, they said they got the steering wheel as straight as possible but I would need to replace the tie rod ends and adjusting screws to get it perfect. Alignment is better, vibration I had is gone and steering wheel is straight. But I just got under it today and noticed that they had completely rounded off the hex area of both screws and damaged several of the threads on one of them. It bothered me because the car is in great shape and I really take care of it. Even if the screws were seized and difficult to turn, is this something I should overlook?
