The places that get recommended are the places that screw me, trust me I have asked around.

 

OK either you are hard to please or you live in a terrible little town,lol... JK

Just like doctors get a 2nd opinion then compare the 2 and make your decision,you'll know when you find a good one. Once you do find a good one,spread the word and make sure to patronize them again.

 

I may be hard to please, I just would never half *** any repair on any of my vehicles.

 

I hear you man, I worked as an electrician for 12 years before going into industrial maintenance and I was always very critical of my own work,I never wanted it on my conscience if anyone was hurt or thier house burnt down because I didn't do my job right.

 

Doesnt sound like sh!tty service to me, just seems they are trying to look out for your safety, you dont have to get it replaced it you dont feel its broken or worn out enough yet, they shops kinda obligated to tell you if that they think something is worn, unsafe, or may break in the near future. I like when my shop tells me this info. I use a shop thats freinds with my parents so, they wouldnt try to screw me over but, id replace the parts, my lifes worth the extra couple hundred to make it safe.

 

You do wheel your truck shiloh, and believe it or not it isn't easy on it, especially not with some of the stuff I remember you having told us about previously, like the hard hillclimbs at speed that you have done, all that jostling can really screw up your suspension/steering. I think you should get this fixed on your truck and then take it easy for a while. Also, when you take your truck to a shop, you can have the truck clean, but they will know if you wheel it anyway, there are parts under your truck that you never see that get buildup that the shop will see, I suggest next time going under and really taking some time to knock that stuff off so that they dont just go off of the assumption that you wheel it and they can push you around on stuff because of that.

Good luck and I hope it ends up working out for you! I really dont like to see problems for my fellow forum members, but just trying to give you my best advice.

 

I know they can prolly tell I play around and are lookin out to make sure things are in good shape I just wish that this stuff didn't seem to pop up every time it goes in for simple work. Every vehicle we own, whenever it goes in for something like alignment or oil change or something there is always something we get told is worn out. Idk, I get pissed too easy I guess.

 

it also doesnt help being young and "barging" in the place with an attitude. if you go in there talking down to everyone and making a scene why would you expect them to treat you with respect? im not getting on your case im just giving advice, im older then you but im still young to but if you learn to handle things with older people with more maturity then you might get better service and wont have so many issues.

 

Thats also very true, I have a hell of an attitude on occasion.

 

I would expect something to be out every time you go for an alignment. This forum is a bad example but on average about 85 percent of vehicles on the road need some kind of work before you can do an alignment. That's why these shops offer 100 point inspections...

Your rack is normal from wheeling. I had the same issue with mine right after I purchased the truck but luckily I still had warranty on it as well as the front end.

I would still get a second opinion if it's not too late. Remember just because they ordered the parts doesn't mean they can't be returned.
