Hi everybody - I've never owned a dually before and I want to get a wheel alignment done. Is the process the same as any other 4 wheel vehicle ? Do they align all 4 corners or do they align just the fronts ?I have a 2013 F350 if it matters.Thank You,Tim

A good place will check the rears but there isn't anything to adjust on the rear so unless they find a problem they don't do anything. Front is the usual caster, camber, toe, center the steering wheel. Why do you want an alignment on such a new vehicle?Brian

Thanks for the reply. You confirmed what I kind of wondered - there's nothing to align on the rears.I did buy it new (May - 2013) but I now have 18,000 miles on it and it seems to want to pull off to the side a little. And my experience has been that vehicles don't come perfectly aligned from the factory. Tim

I think all the will align is the toe in. All other conditions are pretty much non-adjustable. I guess they could bend an axle but I doubt if it needs it unless you have hit something pretty hard.

With a dually or not there is little you do with a live axle rear end. The thrust angles are usually not far off unless there are other underlying issues.The front end wise, they will do a camber/caster sweep which will tell them if something is irregular, there is little you can do to adjust camber or caster without a busing meant for it. But they will check toe and ensure that your toe angle for each wheel, plus total toe are within spec.

I found very few shops are capable of performing a dually alignment in my area. Duals require a wide rack designed for DRWs.
