Alignments.

Not necessary. The alignment measurement goes off the axles and frame. You want an alignment done every 100k or if your truck is pulling to one side on the freeway. A minor pull to the right is normal on the freeway. It’s designed that way so the water won’t sit. The other reason for an alignment is irregular tire wear.

 

If your truck is handling fine and the tires you removed didn’t have irregular wear you don’t need an alignment.

Also, don’t go to a truckstop for an alignment. Find an MD Alignment shop close to you or get through Kansas City and see Chad at Alignment Solutions.

 

Not unless you are building another Hoover Dam or hit a lot of curbs. Some container yards in Chicago might require it. Barring worn parts, alignment shouldn't change.

 

Another good place is bennnets in gibson pa. Almost a 2-3 week waiting list everytime we've been. Honest guy's, thought the spring bushings needed replacement but they were still good. Could of just as easily said you need new ones. Not too many honest places left anymore

 

I average 1 alignment a year , truck and trailer.
