I just ordered a rancho 5000 steering stabalizer along with rs5000 shocks. Should i get it aligned after putting the new stabalizer on?

Thanks

 

Is the truck wearing tires?

 

No the tires are not wearing, its just that when i bought it the rear shocks were replaced, the fronts are rusted badly, so for christmas i figured i would get the 2 front shocks and a stabalizer, because that has alot of rust on it too. I just realized that i prob don't need an alignment right, because i've seen and know people who do not even run one.

Thanks

 

no it doesnt need an alignment. it just unbolts and bolts up. that simple. it just like changing a shock but in the other direction.

 

Alignment is the angles of the front end. Camber, caster and tow(some vehicles also have a thrust angle adj.) All vehicles have "alignment". It is what sets the way the vehicle drives, handles, wears tire and gives road reponse to the driver. Worn front end parts will change this,as we are talking about 10ths of a degree and fractions of an inch when adjusting. In normal servicing of a vehicle I normally have the alignment check every 40-50 thousand miles or whenever I find a tire wearing poorly.
