[QUOTE="crazymonkey, post: 3086251, member: 125421"] Yep that's what happened with my truck . The dealership welded the drag link adjuster as they were just jam nuts and I guess prone for coming loose. So alignment is quite simple move the wheel to get the passenger wheel to the correct toe then use the tie rod adjuster to bring in the there side . All the while the steering wheel should be straight. Simple process right from the dealership. You can see where the nut was and how far I had to tighten it . It's now got a traditional clamp style adjuster on the drag link and is much easier to align correctly as you have all the available adjuster to correct the alignment. What got me ****ed 😤 was when they re aligned it and gave me the report that showed before and after that showed it was still way out . I did tell the guy upfront I've turned a few wrenches and could read the reports. So a call to the regional manager was made . They only covered the cost of the alignment and I still am out for the replacement tire . The level kit and all the other parts were on me as I wanted to have the truck leveled and done 100% correct.
