I bet its great lol. I dont think I wanna play with all of that right now though.

I adjusted the front end enough to get it to the shop but when I test drove it the steering wheel was about a half turn to the right. I think I adjusted it wrong. Plus when I called to day to schedule an alignment at the local shop they quoted me $119, which I think is absolutley outrageous! Mainly because I cant afford it. The ball joints and tie rods tapped me out till Thursday. The last one I did thru them was $40!

 

That's VERY steep, but then you're not in L.A., the "Land of Competition", lol. Johnson Alignment, here in Torrance, CA, charges around 75$ for 4WD alignment..... Oh, and it's LIFETIME RE-ALIGNMENT included, .... not bad, eh? lol.

Is the truck riding true? No more toe in/out? No caster/camber issues? If so, you might have to do the 'worm shaft removal/re-adjustment' to correct the steering wheel.

Let me know, man... I have a huge section on this, somewhere in my build thread I believe, k?

 

Theres still some toe in/out and caster camber issues. Its more noticable with my 33s on there. It has a slight pull to the left. Me and a buddy are gonna try to tape measure it out and get it right or as close as we can

 

always been a fan of the 80s models. stuck with a 93 right now. but it kicksass. nice rig. snow driving must be fun

 

Wow 119 what shop is that. We charge like 89 bucks and like 70 with a coupon I think

 

Thanks man! Snow bashin is the best!

Its the Big O in Conifer. 89 isn't too bad. Better than 119 lol

 

 

Yeah an that's for a 4 wheel alignment so it wpukd be cheaper for yours. Only align the front end.

 

What would yall charge for me down there? Do I need an appointment? I get paid today and need to get it done so I can get back to drivin it.

 

My writer said would be 35 plus tax. He said he would print u a coupon up. Depends on when u wanna have it done

 

I dont think I can pass that up haha. Where abouts is your shop and when is a good time to come in? I have to work on Tuesday so I will be in town then anyway.

 

Any day but Tuesday Hahaha. 6100 s Broadway littleton co 80121

 

if you need it to be on Tuesday it may be a little bit more as my writer is no there on Tuesday it will be my service manager and he is some what of an a$$. still wouldnt be 119 but may be a bit more then 35.

 

Im gonna have to put it off a little while. My paycheck didnt come in anywhere near what I thought it was going to be.

 

when ever you get around to it man. in there every day most cases.

i just put some 295/75R16"s on my runner with the bigger tires she is a bit squirrely its time to rebuild the front end. my buddy quoted me 560ish for all the parts to redo it. guess ill just have to start saving my pennies

 

560 for the parts? Thats not bad. Is everything gettin done? I think the worst part of the whole deal for me was the ball joints. Everything else is pretty easy

 

yeah thats for the inner and outer tie rods the unner and lower ball joints the upper and lower control arm bushings pitmin arm sway bar links front and rear. i really wish i had the money.

 

Thats not bad at all. I hear ya on the money part. I tapped out with the stuff I did last week. But its so much nicer to drive when its all said and done

 

Yeah I may have to put my other wheels an tires back on tell I can rebuild the front end. Because anyone who has ever driven in Colorado will know wh have some of the worst road crown and groves in the roads from the lack of filler rock when they lay the roads. She is all over the place when I drive.

 

Yeah the roads up here suck too. County roads are chip and seal, and half of the highway is grooved concrete which makes the truck and cycle squirrel all over the road
