    My guess. Twisted pipes. Possible broken pipes. Maybe busted motor on the wheel

    Portland peeps:

    Where would/have you taken your truck to get an alignment done? I'm 2 miles from a Les Schwab but don't want to a take a truck there with aftermarket UCAs and have them fuck it up

    I took mine to a les schwab and didn't have any problems. Most my adjustments were in LCA's and if you take the instructions that came with your uca's I'm sure they wouldn't have any problems

    same shit as everyone else
    The tech's that do the alignments at that Les Schwab are of a little higher caliber if you know what I mean. The dude that did mine a couple weeks ago was pretty good and handled it well. I believe they have to be ASE certified also so its not just some kid lubbin rims ;)

    Don't let those fuckers scam you either and charge you for a 4 wheel alignment. It's only about $45 for the front end only. There is no rear alignment as far as they are concerned.

    This is the Les Schwab I use

    Okay. Yeah no point for a 4 wheel alignment when you have a solid axle in the back

    I don't know yet. Gotta figure out a budget first. I would kill for a set of Grabbers or Kevlars though. But idk. Have to see how much money I can scare up. I would rather find a good craigslist deal than have to buy a new set, considering how fast I burn through tires.

    ditto. I had a flat on my sled trailer and asked if they carried any tires not made in china, and that I want a USA tire. Tire guy says "yeah, lots of them...". The tire gets mounted and I go look on the sidewall. Sure the fuck enough china right on it. Fuck schwabs and their chinese tires too.



    EDIT: I read "nothing good to say" fml, and china too. Little job stealing bastards. /rant
