just pulling your truck in and hooking up to their wheel alinement equipment cost xxx dollars, weather it needs any adjustment or not.. every thing was good , No wrenches needed. X2

I got sheet of align from machine in pickup ... what you aught to do is .. gas up that vechile with some high octane and ride back down there at coffee time in the mornin....then jerk that lead mechanics britches down and give him a leanin into it bare butt whippin with a scrap tie rod off a 80’s model one ton diesel truck
Insert profound nonsense here

Ya true, I thought only adjustment or main one , tie rod ends on pickup , toe is always off well if you don,t trust that shop, take it to some other shop next time.

I can't see how any wrenches put on tie rods to adjust toe, u see turns on threads I think of tie rods not crud build up an no marks on rust, if paperwork on align, could that be printed out what it was ,without do anything ? not say what original angle was

Maybe it was a camber adjustment , can't see if that adjust or not since always since owned a inner tear wear concern, the last times had align, always see where adjust tie rod ends, didn't see it , I don't know nothing of align , they probly did, not sure where bolts are loose for camber adjust, I have idea but not sure

Do you understand front suspension of vehicles? Why do you need alignments so often? I think you may need your streets fixed and rebuilt....In my last 4 pickups, all 4x4, off road and on road with perhaps 500,000 plus or more miles, I don't recall needing 1 alignment?? No strange tire wear, no pulling or leading while driving. Your like the Hee Haw song, If it weren't for bad luck, you would have no luck at all ! Take Savell's advice, he is a wise man....Lol
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Dave, all I have to say is your mechanic must have a big boat.
