    I replaced axles, hubs upright and LCAs on my 05 a month ago. Running 265/70/17 on FJ steelies and same icons ive had on forever. I Had it aligned at schwab and I've been noticing an intermittent steering while vibe since I did the work/ had the alignment. I just realized today that it's the bumps in the roads shaking my wheel. Here's my alignment specs, suggestions? I know rh castor is out, the tech said they only adjust it if it pulls and it tracks straight.

    They charge what? $75 and they won't touch the caster. I used to work there. Go back and tell them it drives worse after thay touched it and ask them to please bring the caster to even numbers on both sides. The tech was being lazy.

    Edit: for the record I was a short term tire monkey, not an alignment tech. Our guys were/ are thorough. I still go there.

    It's was like $60 + tax which is quite good. Don't want to blame them. Put brand new hubs / bearings from the guy on here as well, could that be an issue?
