Subject: Front end alignment problems
IP: Logged

Message:
My 94 classic seems to always drive the right with an alignment already done today,the good news is I don't need new balljoints. Those other guys basicly tried to rip me off by wanting me to go along with there plan ,new joints,new lower control arms installed at a price for 958.12 dollars.

So, now I'm going to rotate my tires and see if that could fix the problem.

You're right on the money by rotating your tires first.

Trucks (and most cars) are known for following road crown. (most roads lean to the right to shed water) The way we always fixed this was to set the caster 2 tenths of a degree more negative on the left side. This usually straightens it out.

Also make sure your rear axle has not sheared a spring bolt allowing the truck to go down the road a bit side ways or worse.

So many problems .... So little time
