1998 V70 XC needs rear alignment. V70-XC70 1998

Hi everyone,
I jacked the car up the other evening and removed both control rods. I made a jig to duplicate the rod that was the proper length. I then cut the rods off of the end bushings and cut new 3/4" square tube replacement rods the same length.
I put the bushings into the jig I made and welded the tubes to the bushings, painted them and installed them back in the car. I put new tires on the wheels and centered the adjustment bolts. The car rides straight and doesn't seam to be wearing the tires out. Erie Vo Vo has replacement rods for $30 each but I couldn't wait that long for them. The ones I made work just fine.
Just sharing, RK
