I just got an alignment done but at the same time I need new u joints and shocks. Will this effect the alignment I have just done at all?

 

No............................................:thu mbsup:

 

Agreed, No effect unless you start turning the sleeves on your tie rods..

 

What about shocks throwing caster off?

 

No not at all, Impossible.

 

Ok thanks. I am confused then.

I installed a Currie steering set up. Got it aligned by a good shop. A month goes by and my vehicle has not been off road AT ALL. No way anything got bent. It starts driving funny so for the hell of it I go back to the same alignment shop and its toed way in. How the hell did it get out of alignment?

I know the guy who owns the alignment shop and hes not jerking me around.

The only thing that changed is I changed tires, but the same size tire just different make. So could that be it?

 

Nope. Changing tires wont do it. Unless it was jacked up by the tierod It is possible they left something lose. Or mybe some worn tierod ends. They should notice any wear that would cause toe in problems. just watch your tires for uneven wear

 

No jacking up by tie rod, all bolts were tight I checked them myself with a torque wrench a week ago. How could the ends be worn? This is a new Currie tie rod that is a month old and has never seen off road. There was a slight feathering one my drivers tire that's why I took it in..

 

I would say then, It wasnt done right the first time. BTW has itbeen lifted at all.

 

No lift just 3/4 spacers in front. Oh I did change the steering box out for a new one last week but I'm sure that's not it either..
