Just had the truck aligned after replacing the ball joints and steering linkage (and also radius arm bushings and wheel bearings not too long ago).
Left is at -0.5°, Right is -0.7°. Tech said I needed different adjustment bushings to get it within spec and quoted $70 for the shims and $85 labor to install them, plus the cost of an alignment.
Is it worth getting this done from a ride, handling, or tire wear perspective? The truck has over 188K miles on it and am not looking to put more money into it than I have to, but I also don't want to eat up my relatively new tires or have it handle like crap. Thoughts?
