    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

    The pull to the right is probably always there. Need to have cross caster increased, inflate passenger side steer tire to maximum rated air pressure and set drivers side steer tire to 10 psi below max rated pressure to stagger for road crown.
