I went to a local NTB to check out my alignment and they ended giving me a estimate for $1,850. My front tires started to wear out fast from the inside edge. They ended up telling me that i needed to change both front upper and lower ball joints, camber kit, and all 4 shocks. I have a 2001 f150 with 150k miles on the truck. Me being lazy, i never had the truck alignment checked or even changed out the shocks. Should i take it to another dealer and get a second opinion? Your feedback is appreciated.

 

with that many miles and never having it dont before I would say you probably should have it done, but buy the parts yourself off of Summit or ebay or something than to pay nearly $2k!

 

I can't answer for most of the stuff, but if those are the original shocks, they are toast and have been for quite a while. That being said, shocks will not affect your alignment. I do an alignment once a year. Between things like wear of parts, pot holes, and speed bumps, things do go out of alignment.
