My dumb friend got a DUI in my dakota last night. But before that he decided to do some showing out. After a few donuts, he ran about 15-20mph straight into a curb, hopping it. 5min later we were pulled over (I ride shotgun after a few beers) I picked it up this afternoon and immediately noticed it was pulling left, I was weary about getting on the interstate, cuz at 35-50mph I had to hold pretty firmly to the right to keep it straight.

Its a 92 automatic. Tomorrow I plan to put my old wheels/tires on to make sure the left wheel isnt bent or warped. What else could it be?

Is it possible it knocked the alignment off, and if so can I adjust it myself? I already had to pay $70 to get it out of the lot, which I'll try to get back, if not I just wont call him my friend anymore.

Some friend. You let him drive drunk so you won't take the hit.

I bet you have 3 pink flamingo's in front of your trailer.

Geez, thanks for the laugh!

Front ends usually do not get "knocked" out of alignment. Its usually "bent" out of alignment.

So, visually inspect the front end for damage then go get an alignment to compensate for the tweeked part.

I say you can drive my truck, but i wont get behind the wheel after drinking. Why you callin me a bad friend? We would never gotten in trouble if he wasnt purposely trying to break my truck. I respect other people's rides, except maybe his little mighty max

Oh yeah, I just got home from college. This morning went to get the paper and what did I see, only 2 pink flamingos in the front yard. Close. No trailer though. Pretty funny, was something being implied by that remark.?
