I've never gotten an alignment where I didn't get that sheet, you shouldn't even have to ask for it.

Tankmechus, if you still have the hold the steering wheel cocked I would get an alignment someplace else. That shouldn't be happening after an alignment...

Unhappy Dakota Alignment

I got a goos alignment from Firestone and new tires. Unfortunately, my city never fills in pot holes and I hit 4 with my right tire on the way home. I don't know what to do? My alignment was way off before, I don't know if it was affected or not yet. SHould I go get it looked at, is the Dakota sensitive to going out of alignment. I know the wheel is a bouncy, but I like that feeling. The type of tires also changes this I guess. I am happy with the new tires. Does anyone else know if the suspension etc. is sensitive on a Dodge truck?

Default Help! Should my truck be difficult to align?

Bear with me guys, I'm pretty clueless about the mechanics of my truck, but I do know that when I pay for an alignment and my truck pulls harder to the left than it did before the alignment, that I probably got ripped off.

Should an '03 2500 stick shift be a problem to align? Should I take it to some kind of alignment specialist? I had the alignment done at the tire store where I bought my tires. I had the tires rotated and balanced at the same time I had the alignment done.

This truck is driven almost exclusively on the highway, with very little town driving. It has 185,000 miles on it.

Any advice would be appreciated.
