    have a question I jus put new tires on my truck 3 months ago since then I been aligning almost every week taking it back because I leave from the shop and it runs perfect once I get on the road after about a day or so it starts to pull to the right again like it gets out of alignment been having constant problem I have replaced shocks, leaf springs , wheel bearings , and still the same they say supposively the tie rod ends are good but thinking of replacing that to see if it eliminates the problem it's a 2005 freightliner Colombia any one have had this issue to know why it gets out of alignment

    Look up M D Alignment online. Thy know more about alignment than any one in the country. Check the shop locator to see if there is a shop that uses there system is near you. You my just need a better shop to diagnose the problem, where do you run to maybe someone can suggest a good shop for you also. What tires did you put on, I had that problem to and it turned out to be the crap Chinese tires I got from the T/A, we had to flip one around on the rim to get it to run straight, I ran those out at got some good Michelin's put on.

    It sounds like you may have a bent axle.

    Look up how to measure a vehicle alignment using tape, string and tape measure. You'd probably have a better chance finding the issue yourself.
    MD alignment sells a book on what to look for.
