I was told they charge more for 20” and up wheels because they need newer or more advanced equipment. I couldn’t find an alignment here for less than 69.99 with the 20s.

i do alot of alignments and another reason different wheels can be expensive is some times you actually have to let the air out of the tire to getthe sensors to clamp on. so that takes alot more time and effort and yes there is alot of risk with scratches. but to the origional question you may very well need cam bolts to align it. they are slotted from the factory and CAN be adjusted without the bolts but it makes the technicians life alot easier with them. But mhen the alignments only $49 just buy the bolts and make sure its done right. just my 2 cents

I'm having alignment issues on my '06. I paid $44.00 and it still pulls to the right! I just put new tires on. Had them balanced and the whole 9 yards. Am I wrong in thinking that if a vehicle is aligned you can take your hands off the steering wheel and it should stay in a somewhat straight line while driving?? I'm a little pissed today. I honestly don't think they did anything with it. But seriously, is it too much to think it should keep in a straight line!?

Streering wheel Centering
Ok this might be a dumb ?, but when an alingment is done is it a step to make sure the streering wheel is centered? I am wanting to get an auto-spring 2 in leveling kit for my 07 Lariat 4x4, but am worried my streering wheel wont be centered after install. ( A real pain for me ). Also how is the streering wheel recenterd if off? Thanks SSG C

the machine is one year old so its pretty damn decent and when the wheel has no outer lip and he tire bead comes out ove the rim so far you cant get the clamps on it there its the only way to do it. its really rare to have to do that i was just saying. but i could really care less if you came to my shop or not!
