    So I had and alignment done after I installed new struts, took it to a different firestone and everything was fine for a day then I was getting a clanking sound coming from the front end thought it was the u joints had all of them replaced and carrier bearing. Didn’t fix it, and I noticed my cv axle was getting loose and loose took it to my firestone and they said cam bolts were way loose. Is it possible that loose cam bolts stretched or screwed up my cv axle? Wasn’t like this before and now it really loose compared to other side but firestone said it was fine. Queastion is should I be going after firestone for a cv axle or needle bearing?

    I don't see how those correlate.

    Seems to me a corrected alignment is all they owe you. Maybe a coupon for a free one later on for your inconvenience.

    Maybe finding an independent shop with a skilled tech well versed in trucks would be a good idea.
