subaru forester

[shsh]

I am looking to buy a second hand subaru forester. I took one in for
an inspection and the main thing that worries me is that there was an
offset between the rear and front axle (about 0.35 degrees). I know
that this could be because of an accident but a carfax report shows
nothing. The mechanic suggested a wheel alignment may make the problem
go away. I was looking at the worst case downside. If I do buy the car
and a wheel alignment does not make the problem go away how much could it
cost me to fix?

Thanks,
shsh

Inspect the tread wear for other signs of misalignment. If so, ask the
owner to get an aligment before selling the car.
