Hey gang,
Here is an interesting couple of dilemmas...
1) After the body lift install my steering seems to bind slightly once each turn of the wheel. Any ideas??
2) Alignment - I konw we have covered this, but here's the issue again... Driver's side front tire is wearing too much on the inside (camber is off). After inspecting the tire, it was found to be possibly defective (out of round). I am going in AGAIN for an alignment Thursday morning and need to know how to be sure this will work. The tire that was there is no good anymore - for every day travel (fine for a spare) but I don't want to ruin another tire. I plan on sitting in the truck when the alignment is done. The camber bushings were replaced about 4 months ago, but the alignement has never held. Any thoughts would be great!
One last thought - have your tires balanced every 3k or so. Mine were off as much as 8 oz's after 5k and yes, they were right when they were mounted - I watched the whole thing. Starting to think I need a new shop
I don't get paid to oversee everything they do!
