probably because the LCA shock bolt is rusted on, as they usually do. A lot of the time you have to cur or break it to get it off.

How many miles do you plan to drive before you get it aligned? If we're talking 10 miles, no that won't hear out your tires. But I wouldn't go 50 miles without expecting some excessive wear. Oh yeah... the rest of the world uses km not miles :P

I'd say it's okay for short trips around town, but try not to drive if you don't have to.
