I took my truck to the dealership due to a recall in the feul line and decided to get the alignment done since i needed one and it was all ready there...Well i was told it would be$65 unless it needed parts...of course w/ me not knowing anything about cars i just assumed everything would go well....well let me tell ya NEVER assume.....the called me the next day to tell me my $65 job would be a $200 job because of something having to do w/ round holes and square screws and something else i am really not sure though....so i told em to do it cause it was messing up my <new> tires and it needed done...Well question has anyone had this happen before????? oh the reason i needed the alignment was i hit an ice patch at x-mas and hit a ditch pretty hard so thats what messed it up..I was told that on my truck it shouldn't need done for oh i think 100000miles but due to the incident i did need it....so just if anyone out there has had this done or knows what the dealership did please reply!!!!!!!!!!

Your truck comes stock with a bolt threw the upper control arm and you can't adjust camber and caster. So there probalbly selling you a cam bolt kit which has a lobed washer with a flat spot so when it turns it moves the a-arm. Other wise without this kit all you can adjust is the toe. dan

 

Agree with Daniel Fine, plus the obvious fact after you ran into a ditch, you probably needed much more than just a simple alignment.

 

hey guys ...thanks fo rthe info i got my truck out of the shop and they explained to me about the same thing you said.....i had to have the caster cam plates replaced and some screws....anyway when i hit the ditch it wasnt to bad i just kinda slide into it what i think might of messed it up also was i did 1 360 and 2 180 in the road anyway thanks again
