Funky-clunky
Hey all I just wanted to whine a little.
I had my truck recently aligned at a local shop. They do good work and I have not heard anything bad. But a week or so after they did the alignment My truck started clunking under heavy load on the right front tire. I have check all of my ball joints and what not but I could not find out what it was.
It turns out the monkey that did the alignment didn't tighten all of the bolts and left one of the camber adjusters loose. So as I turned into a parking spot the camber adjuster would rotate around and make a huge thunk sound from that side.
I am a little pissed
I think I will bring it to them to have it realigned. I just wanted to vent. Thanks for reading.

Another Funky Clunky Forgot-To-Tighten-The-Bolts
Didn't make it back to the freeway with my '05 4WD Reg Cab after being fixed at the Toyota dealer in Fresno Ca. It was in a major wreck, they had to straighten the frame, and forgot to BOLT THE CAB BACK DOWN! Talk about a klunk under your butt! After getting me and my dog stranded in Fresno for the night in flipflops and no toothbrush, they at least paid for my room and bought us breakfast. Yeah, I ordered bacon eggs and hash browns for the dog too, We got stranded with out dog food!
