A vehicle equipped with MacPherson strut suspension is in the repair shop for new tires and alignment. The technician noticed that the vehicle has some play in the lift-side inner-tie rod. What should the technician tell the customer.
It is not a problem that will affect alignment.
He can align the front end, but the tie rod should be replaced soon.
the inner tie-rod needs to be replaced before an alignment can be performed.
He can set the vehicle alignment to compensate for the play in the inner tie-rod.
