I had a wheel alignment on my 2004 SLE, after having two cradle mounts replaced the other day.

Tha creaking and clicking is gone now completely and she is tracking straight as an arrow ... Cheers

Cheers indeed!

I replaced all six on my car and I can't believe how much of a difference it made. The steering is alive again and the car feels much more solid on the freeway.

I still need to do an alignment, however.
