They should give you a print out of where everything was at before and after work was done.I don’t remember seeing any marks anywhere after an alignment.

Printout of after work done left truck, don't show before , I pretty sure if look close u see tool marks on tie rod adust bolt or threads by it, where nut move on tie rod thresds, at least I did last time, maybe unnoticeable , never had problems in this shop much like some but any shops anywhere, I was to farm supply store last summer to get battery, I never go automotive in that store again, actually any there chain stores maybe better that one

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.

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!

You inadvertantly hit on another of his post which is titled street repair.

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

Maybe-just maybe they didn't need to readjust anything say, like the toe-in????? The spec sheet they gave you should have the before and after specs.
