alignment issues

Well that is good news, and I feel vindicated in that it was clearly poorly trained technicians prior to this. But I have to tell you it pains me to see that screen from the company from St. Louis.

Your post from 4-30 sounds like my most recent trip to the alignment shop. I too went back for a crooked wheel and a slightly feathering tire and they tried to sell me a load of bs. Glad you got it sorted out.

it was suggested that i take the bill to the first shop for some money back for doing a crappy job.

Wow, you can't even say their name. I completely understand. That company was the main reason I got out. Very hard to compete.

Glad to hear you are back up and running well! I guess you don't need to drive my truck now.

These alignment shops don't know what they're doing. I had a shop that I always used for alignment before I had the same issue as u. The guy had a $60000 dollar machine and everything. When he couldn't get me aligned he told me the truth that he couldn't do it. He sent me to a shop which specializes in trucks and 4x4s. I was surprised when I got there. These guys used really old machines with projectors that mount on the wheels and project a scale on the wall and they measured everything with a tape measure. Anyways, I go there every time I need an alignment and they get it perfectly. They also test drive it before and after, make adjustments, test drive it again. My point is, its the man who's doing it, not the machine. Most techs these days think their fancy machine can do all the work. In the old days people used a string

that's very similar to the equipment we have here.
nothing projects on the walls, but its very old basic stuff. all manual.

Haha, yes you did. I thought that's what you wanted to do to them. Very clever.
