They showed me the computer and also saw that the inner tie rod is swept where u put the wrench to move the toe, they said i have to replace both from the front and camber was like 0.3 and 0.3 and caster was good,but toe was adjusted to 0.8 on the left and 0.12 on right because it was bad and the steering is crooked, the truck is going straight but crooked steering, they said i have to replace em cause its hard to adjust it because of the way the inner rods are and then adjust 0.10 both sides, 400 for everything alignment included, are the camber measurements correct and caster was also good i dont remember the measurements and the steer ahead ig its called was on .0 and -.50 both sides on the rear i really dont know about the angles but i remember a lil Its swept where u put the wrenchs to adjust
idk the truck is going straight but steering is crooked
That isn't rusty. A quick shot of penetrating oil and my 5 yr old grandson could break that loose. They are trying to sell you parts you don't need. Find another shop.
Looks to me that it’s a rust issue making it difficult to adjust the toe. If that the case then the tie rods need to be taken apart and freed up so that they can again be easily adjusted. Truth be told 99% of the time if a mechanic takes apart the tie rods said mechanic is going to replace them.
ill take a pic after fixing the rods and alignment ;(

ok, any idea why the truck is going straight but crooked steering? I remember camber and caster were fine and the toe was changed to 0.8 on left and 0.12 on the right

They need to adjust both tie rods to straighten the steering wheel. Any competent alignment tech knows that.

I will say this again, find a new shop. Otherwise let them do what they want and just pay for it. The side you have the picture of has got lots of adjustment left on both sides. There is at least 12 or more threads showing. I'm assuming the other side looks the same.
