you could prolly make it so it doesnt drift but you prolly wont get it perfect without a machine, if you have all new tires I'd recommend an alignment just to prolong the life of the tires.

i just had my car done on the machine. its worth the money. they get it all down to 1000th of an inch.. if you watch your tire pressure your front tires will last 5x longer.. its deffinitley worth it!

Its difficult to trust anyone working on my car but i hope the dealer has the right tools, and I could hold them accountable if something wrong were to happen
