    I had two different ta/petro do an alignment on two different trucks, 1in little rock, ar the other one in whitestown, In. Gad to get both of them redone again from the dealer cause ta/petro sucks at alignments.

    They will also balance your steer tires ON THE TRUCK, this balances everything that is spinning. You won't believe the difference you feel in the tiller.

    I used a well recommended shop here in Saskatoon, A-Line. They charge $150 per axle, I have eight of them.
    They did tweek the front axle, the rest they said were within spec.
    I don't want it within spec, I want it STRAIGHT.
    Two of the trailer axles were off, one 1/8" and the other 1/4". Wound up doing it myself. And yes with a tape measure and string. Old fashioned works great.

    Thanks for the info, everyone.

    This weekend I saw the steers got really bad the last few days, so I planned to swap them out and get an alignment, went to take the rim off and someone crawled under the truck and duct tape a #### ton of weights to the rim. They weren't there two weeks ago when I installed centromatics, so that was my issue. Cleaned them off and now no shimmy, and going straight down the road. Still getting an alignment to double check, but hopefully that's all it was.

    Thanks again guys
