    Got an alignment shortly after got the truck. Bout a year ago I got new tires.
    When I drive it likes to wander on the road. With the old tires I thought it was the tires causing that. Still does it with the new tires.
    Wondering if this is commonplace with this truck or if I should get another alignment.
    Thanks, jerry

    Short answer is yes, because a good alignment will consist of an inspection of steering and suspension components. You should not, and can not, correctly align a vehicle with worn suspension/steering components.

    I always get an alignment with new tires.
    That way I can prove the vehicle was aligned at the time the tire were installed. If I need to file a warranty claim on the tires, I can have some proof it was not due the alignment.

    Yes, for the cost of a new set of tires, I consider an alignment part of the package when I'm spending the money.

    FYI
    Took it for alignment. Rotated tires. EVERYTHING zeroed out; I was watching the machine. Checked all connections, joints, and etc. After rotation it doesn’t wander. Unless one of the tires had an issue I can’t imagine what’s the deal.
