alingment, and wheel balance


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have an 05 gmc seirra 4x4 ext cab. Just got some 285 70 r17's on my truck and tried to aling it at school. i seemed to have all kinds of trouble gettin it right, mostly problems with caster, always seemed to be positive no matter what, i am thinking our alingment racks are off calibration, so im goign to find a place to do it for me cause i want it to be right and steer like it used too. Does anyone have any problems with Firestone? I heard its only 70 bucks to get an alingment there and i am also going to get my wheels and tries rotated and balanced again, cause at school i had to use used wheel weights and they feel a little loose. Any info on alingments for these trucks or reccomendations on where to go to get a good one done would be great, i want my new truck ride back god dammit. lol. thanks

firestone did fine on my 97 yukon , but it just depends if the guy knows what he is doing , it was 70 bucks and they cranked up torsion bars too, best price I found by far
