Thumbs down Constant Bad Alignment!

Does anyone else notice that their alignment is constantly going bad again? I've had mine aligned more than a few times and months later I always find it pulling again.....

Does this have anything to do with the cluck or slipping control arm? You can tell by the "gunk" on the frame that it is slipping. Will the Herb's washers be a fix for this, and if so does he or anyone else still sell them?

Thanks guys/gals.

Jon

To prevent uneven wear I rotate every 3000 miles and check the tire pressure every week. Make sure you have a good tire pressure guage. Even a few pounds can make a difference. How are your brakes? When you get the truck aligned does the machine show it is out of alignment? You could probably narrow your problem down with that info.

Mine was wearing tires also took it several time to have it aligned. However, we still wore the inside of the ires. I took it to a wheel and axel place and the set it up the old school way and it's been over a year and no excessive tire wear now.
