    Negative on the rack. I went to Bushiks on RT 13 in Andalusia right down the road from that gas station that blew up. Another place I wanted to check out is a shop called The Busted Knuckle on 611 across from the Willow Grove air base, they specialize in lifted 4x4 trucks. How does the ride and steering feel after the alignment.... better worse the same?

    If anything the steering wheel feels like an old truck. But truck seems to drive ok, I was running late to work today and didn’t really pay attention.

    Maybe I’ll go up to the one on 611

    Edit: truck still pulls to the right... hard.

    Steering wheel has been tilted left, on the way home it was normal. Leaving the gym to pick up dinner typed right.

    On a straight away truck pulled to passenger side if I let go of the wheel for a split second.

    That’s alignment not rack.
    In my experience the symptoms of a steering rack going bad are experiencing wandering and play in the steering wheel while driving straight or turning slightly.
    If you experience a lot of resistance in the steering wheel while turning that is usually an indication that the steering pump has gone bad.
    Honestly, from looking at the numbers you posted if you need a better alignment. Camber and toe should be at 0° or at least damn close to it (like .01°)
    And the caster should be up around 3°.
    This is just the proper setting for our trucks when you have a suspension lift.

    When you get another alignment ask for a "before and after print out of the specs" before they do the alignment.

    Essentially, never had the mice problem. Just leaves and pine needles but it was killing my allergies

    That makes sense. I'm constantly fighting mine with acorns and oak leaves. Smart mod, and I bet it adds life to the cabin air filter.
