Tires significantly rubbing after alignment

My tires are hitting the wheel wells towards the cab like crazy

was the castor set to far back ?

I have 2” spacers
285/75/16

 

Why did you take it in for an alignment? Were the spacers already on there with no issues prior to the alignment?

 

1. Caster should be closer to 4 than 0.
2. You need to do a cab mount chop with that tire size.

 

Not enough information. But in any event just take it back to the place that did the work, tell them they fucked it up and to fix it, make it right.

 

Love me a good ol' toe and go! Go somewhere slse

 

Did it rub before you got aligned?

 

Yeah, those guys didn't do an actual alignment. They adjusted your toe and called it good. They did the simplest thing they could do. They took your money and didn't do the work. they just made it so your wheels are facing the same direction by adjusting a single nut(or just leaning their body weight on the wheel to fake the machine) To be perfectly clear, they didn't "accidentally" forget, or mess up your alignment, they *KNOWINGLY* cheated you. If that doesn't make you mad, it should. I bet that thing drives like shit with it's "shopping cart" alignment.

I'd go back in, ask for a refund (don't give them a chance to *actually* do the work, chances are they will key your shit, or fake the numbers.) if they refuse, do a chargeback, that paper they gave you is proof they only adjusted your toe.

I had the same thing happen to me by Goodyear, except they did a "modified specification" so that the 0.1 degree of caster still showed with a green box. Don't trust the guys who already tried to cheat you. Get your money back, leave a bad review, and go to an actual alignment shop.

Others have mentioned you'll probably need to do a CMC, that's true, but it doesn't change the fact that the guys you went to for your alignment *tried to cheat you*

4 degrees of caster is what's recommended on the forums, you may not be able to get that with a stock uca. That's ok. I'm happy with my ~2.5. it's way better than the 0.1.

 

The spacers were already on and fine, I brought it in for an alignment because my steering wheel was a 1/4 to the left was driving straight

now they hit the wheel wells like crazy I’m pissed and ofcourse they are closed today

it didn’t rub before I got it aligned except maybe hitting a drive way to hard

they said my passenger side was worn down I need to weld it build it up. Would that be a big issue on this ?

 

Try getting rid of the spacers. They only make things worse for clearance.
