Alignment?

Looking at a "national" chain that sells tires and battereries
They offer a year "unlimited" alignment package for about $90.
Anybody have any experiences good or bad with them?
Could you please send me a PM if ya do?

Thanks,
~Rob

Nothing is adjustable besides toe (and caster, but only both sides evenly, can't correct for a pull).

Not worth it for the little that can be adjusted.

Heck, my truck won't even fit on those "national chain's" alignment racks.

Had to have mine done at a big rig shop.

Oh, and that was over 2 years ago, haven't had to touch anything since.

Why do you say that they can't be adjusted?

Um, that isn't exactly correct.....one control arm can have more or less caster dialed into it than the other side and this will affect weather the front axle is square with the chassis and rear axle, which will affect if the truck pulls to one side or the other.

I can adjust how my frame sits on the axle. I love my DT track bar.
