OK here goes,


I can have my tire allignment done for $29.95 at Penske auto center(245/75/16's). I want to buy 315/75/16 Procomp AT with new rims this weekend But all the shops that I have been to tell me that the allignment will cost $95.00 OUCH! what gives! I had one shop tell me that If I can have it done for that price to do it and the new wheels & tires will be alligned correct. Is that so also? need help I want to have this done this weekend!!!!

 

nacho......i hate to tell you this but unless someone already installed a camber kit on your truck then you are definately looking at 100 or more.. if you already have it then you should get it around 50 for a good job..hope this helps

 

paxton888,

I do have a camber kit installed! I put it in when I installed my spindle lift, then I had the truck allignement done and It only cost me 29.99 why do all these shops want 95.00 or more.

 

dude i have no idea.........i guess they are just testing your ballz.......just tell them straight up that what they are going to do cost 50 bucks.......


p.s. call them and ask them what they charge for a normal truck alignment ....and then if it is lower then what they told you ask them what you are paying for with your 95 bones.....if they tell you from the "get go" that a truck costs 95 dollars laugh at them and hang up the phone......and call around some more or drive to houston where i got mine done


WHATEVER EVER YOU DO .... DO NOT GO TO BRAKE CHECK!!!!!!!!

 

With a stock set up, alignments are relatively simple. Especially with the newer comperized alignment racks. All they have to do is read the computer data and set it to factory specs. With the spindle lift, that changes the equations and makes aligning more difficult and some settings may become guess work such as proper steering axis ratio. The tech will have to do more measuring beyond what the computer will do. The cheaper shop is probably basing the cost on simply aligning to factory specs.
