front end alignment

[bigjohn]

had my truck aligned today, was out a bit but still tracks somewhat. they said all parts were fine and it aligned up great. is there other specs to use? anybody have the same problem? thanks

My truck tends to hunt around some. I've been thinking about adding a steering stabilizer to see if this helps.

I have the Rancho steering stabilizer. It dosen't help that much. You'd be better off spending your money on something else.

Try the old syty.org site used to be better specs on there.

ive noticed that too... is it normal that the trucks pull either way a little unless your driving perfectly centered? my front end was aligned like 2 weeks so i know its not an alignment issue.

the guy at the alignment shop said it acted like a cracked frame. i said yea right, our frames are so stout i doubt it. i check the frame and it looked fine. i just think it's the ruts in the bad roads. i took it on a stretch of freeway that i know it pulls on and after the alignment it was alot better.

I got my new tires, ball joints, and Brad-spec alignment a few weeks ago. The steering was very tight afterwards, but in the past few days I've noticed that it seems to wobble around a bit like something's loose. Any ideas? I've got a lifetime warranty on the alignment, so I'll probably just take it in again and have them check it out...

bill, it's hard to say but the guy that did the alignment should have noticed if there was anything wrong. are you sure the 36mm nuts for the cv axles are tight with an impact gun? the only other thing i can think of is a front hub. doubtful that this is the problem. take it back in and have it checked out again. let me know.
