3rd gen front alignment question

Hey Guys,
I just ordered a set of 265/75/16 treadwrights and there's a front wheel
alignment in my immediate future.
How do you inform your alignment technician about some of the 4runner
alignment issues?.............without alienating him?
Bolt tightness etc......

Anyone have a link to that write up someone did on 3rd gen alignments and things to remember.

Thanks, Kenny S>

I just found that mega thread with tons of 3rd gen Alignment advice in it and now I'm even more apprehensive about giving my truck to a shop.

Guess I'll be under there for another do it yourself I know i can fix it look around.
Anyone have any advice about doing it yourself?

Kenny

Let them do the alignment and just check the bolt tightness yourself for the correct torque. You should be alright after that.

There are a variety of machines out there.

Keep in mind that shocks and springs will affect your ride which may feel like alignment.

I found a shop with a hunter machine which it was then done right. Now there are some that use radar I think. Those are pretty sweet. I could be wrong...but hey..this is the interweb.
