Bill sez:


> I've had the alignment done recently, and many times in the past.


Bill, from my experience with alignment shops they need constant babysitting
and double-checking.  Case and point:  My '85 needed alignment and the shop
manager argued that the rear end on my Vanagon is not adjustable.  Fix:  I
hit him over the head with the Bentley manual.  My '88 Audi needed an
alignment.  The shop manager tells me the camber is not adjustable.  Fix:  I
hit him over the head with the Bentley manual.


I don't drive a Chevy truck so finding competent mechanics can be a
challenge in Montgomery, Alabama.  Fix?  Nope.  I'm not about to buy a Chevy
truck.


In your case you may have to use my Bentley technique as well.




Chris,


'85 Westy.
