Took my truck in the other day following a strut replacement. Drove it roughly 100 miles to and from work with no noticeable issues. Truck drove fine but since I have new tires i figured it wouldn't hurt to have it checked out. The truck had lift spacers installed from the previous owner. So I removed them at install, assuming the camber would definelty need to be adjusted.
I watched this tech struggle for 2 hours to get it aligned. None of the measurements were that far out of whack, except caster. Now I have to hold the wheel to keep it from drifting right. Front end inspection by me and the tech found no flaws. He's claiming that the truck must have had front end damage.... which is not true. This was a smaller shop so I'm assuming he may not have alot of experience with these trucks...especially since he asked if I wanted the rear aligned as well....
Has anyone had any similar issues? I worked as an alignment tech many moons ago before college. Never once did I find a vehicle unable to be aligned.. what gets me is that the truck was basically fine before the alignment!
