Alignment ....

Crown of road?

Wind from the left feeding a storm out west?

Low air pressure in your steer?

There isnt enough information.

Let's say youre out of alignment, you would know it when she wont run straight. Take it to a company shop and let them deal with the problem, it will take about a day, cheapest option.

Otherwise heavy alignment of a full tractor say at peters Springs in Baltimore downtown would be around 1500 dollars depending on a number or stack of factors and problems way beyond this post. Ive had a couple tractors aligned there in my time.

The factory spec alignment is no good.. people will use the laser alignment system and the shop give you pint out showing you the print out. People always say nothing is wrong it's within factory spec. The problem is factory spec is no good. Look at his first video you see why the lasee alignment are not very good. He has like 40 years truck experience.

Peter Springs does NOT charge 1500 for an alignment.

 

3 axle was just done on mine. it was a 285.00 job,or free with a set of drives.

 

I set my own alignment,(toe). But I don't go off roading , hoping curbs,etc. My truck pretty much goes straight. Pipe wrench, spray paint, 2x4 with a long nail thru it and the wrenches to break the tie rod.
I'm to tired to write today. Long week and was rotating all 10 ten today. Age must be catching up to me.

 

That is not the only thing done to the tractor that day, it arrived with major problems. Heavy shop work. Beyond the scope of this thread. It took about 12 hours total labor time to get it all done.

 

Sounds extensive. They're well respected and have been around forever. Unfortunately, I've spent thousands there. It's also convenient for me since I can catch the light rail home too if I need to leave the truck.

 

Yes that reputation is why we took that tractor there. They did a great job that day, really good.

It's really hard to understand in this world of fly by night shops that come and go, but am very pleased that Peters is still in the business. They probably will fix our children's childrens trucks in the future long after we are gone.

If anyone wants a good shop, that would be it.

 

Agreed. They do much more than suspension work too as I'm sure you already know.
