I had my front end alignment done at Redlands Truck Service Center Friday. They found that it had toe out instead of toe in. Evidently it wasn't done right at the factory. My reason for taking it in was that I was constantly having to correct the steering while driving straight down the road. They also weighed all four corners and adjusted the tire pressures. The pressures were also off. I splurged and had them install koni shocks while I was there. Although I was'nt able to test it for a long distance on the way home it did seem to track alot straighter without constant correction. I was very happy with the service that I got. K C Cumins took the time to explain everything to me and the service tech who did the work was excellent at what he did. The poor guy finished the job outside in the rain where he was making the final adjustments to correct the steering wheel alignment. All in all it was a positive experience.
