I know this isn't a product, but it is a pretty great service that more should take advantage of.

I know a few folks in here already have this, but i recently purchased it and let me tell you it is GREAT. The cost is 140 plus tax, which translates to 3 normal alignments. If you wheel hard, and you have IFS, you probably knock your alignment out from time to time. I do it probably at least every 3rd or 4th trip, which translates to 5 or 6 alignments a year. Thats 300 bucks. This is great, all you do is keep your paper work in the glove box. Call the store, and ask when to bring your truck by. You do, they align it, and you drive off, quick and easy, except for the time it takes for the alignment. Not only that, but it's good at ANY Firestone shop in the country. VERY nice. So far, i've enjoyed the service, and one thing in particular came to mind. One of my adjusting nuts is frozen. Rather than give me a bunch of crap about it, they put some penetrating oil on it, and left it sit, and aligned the truck anyway, where as some stores will really try and get you to have stuff replaced. I appreciate that.

Thus far, i completely recomend this service to anyone who's truck is out of alignment more than once or twice a year. It pays for itself in 3 tries.

I'll continue to keep this updated as i go back in the future.
