    Your kingpins must've been totally shot for the toe to be out that far after replacement.

    I was reading your other thread about the wheel bearings. I would almost bet that when they replaced the spindle (which looks used) that they put a used assembly on it and it is the wrong one. It's the only way to explain being that far out. With the tie rods being seized in the tube (which is common on older trucks) the only thing that leaves is parts they messed with. I would have that dealer check it over. Explain what has happened and charge it back to the first shop.
     
    Siinman and W923 Thank this.

    U’d think you’d be able to smell the rubber burning off them R213’s. Or get a wiff of smoke come across the hood every once in while. Lol!
