What do you think? It drives straight but my steering wheel is maybe 1 degree to the left. it was perfectly straight before the alignment.
I have 265/65/17 stock tires but if sheeat doesn’t specify my size tire.

That front end will shake on you at HWY Speeds. That toe needs to come in a few on each.

Three things in life I cannot stand…snow, Bette Midler movies and my steering wheel crooked. ?

most people I know wouldn’t take it back but I would at least once. When it comes time for tire I will probably go to Firestone and get the lifetime alignment like I did previous cars…that way I can take it in as many times as needed.

With the toe near zero in the after, it will likely be a bit touchy to steering input. I prefer a bit more toe in on a truck. Otherwise, numbers look reasonable.

When I first bought my truck I felt the wheel was slightly canted to the left. Took it in and had the alignment checked and it was fine and it has always driven fine. I finally decided it was just an optical illusion of sorts and I don’t notice it at all now.

oh, and I’m neutral on snow and Bette Midler.

I'd take it back...crooked steering wheel + OCD = insanity...

Agree

I made an appointment with the new shop Friday that does strictly alignment so hopefully they can get it right.

i think mine is off to the left a smidge also but I’m taking it on a long road trip in a few weeks…that should definitely give me the proper feedback.

You are not wroNg about it being in spec. The thing is the person that did the alignment did not understand that yoe will move out when you get in it. This is something I realized when I had my Ranger. It only needs to have 0.02-0.04° of toe in on each. With that it should be good.

When I get an alignment I ask for it to be dead nuts, hell with a test drive. Looks like they aligned it for a crest in the road. It will respond differently between the left and right lane on a large highway to to the crest.

But I am picky and get it realigned when its barely off because I feel it. Just my 2 cents.

 

[Hellrazor]

Well it looks like the shop don’t know shit either! I showed him my spec sheet and he said he would’ve done it the exact same way.
I asked him about the toe he said they had done it correctly.
at this point not sure what to do I guess just take it to the dealer

Ask them to do it with you sitting in the drivers seat. That might get them to look at things differently.
