Can anyone explain what an “Alignment Shop” is gonna do that the OP can’t do with just his eyeballs, a ruler and straight edge or string?
Cash his check or run his credit card? Do I win a cookie?
You’re one of the few people on here that I would expect to “get it.” Which is really sad considering the collective respondents thus far just in this thread probably outnumber you and me together by about 690 more trips around the sun.
Considering the seeming necessity for participation trophies in society these days, you win a whole batch of cookies for actually being correct. Rather than the ubiquitous pat in the back for “trying” even though you may be wholly incorrect!
You should check out the Searching For Tires thread…. It’s another Grammy award winning rvnet performance by the same cast of misinformed characters we’ve come to know and love!
And yes the same people who are the leading actors very likely are still writing checks at places like the alignment shop.
Funny story, few years ago, my wife is visiting her parents, who to this day still do not seem to have dementia and are fairly technologically saavy for late Silent Gen/Early Boomer age folks. She goes to the grocery store w/her dad and after the groceries are scanned, he hands the cashier (green hair, piercings, tats, you know definitely VERY trustworthy looking, lol) a blank check to fill out for the total…..still totally inexplicable to this day…and his only reasoning is they offer that “service” to their customers…. Yes they live in a blue hair town in Nevada, of all places. Moved there so they could be close to Vegas….lol.
I don't know what the end result would be if one was to take a come-along, chainfall, or porta power to these axles if they're hanging off a Lippert frame and start tugging on them using the frame as part of the equation LOL. I suppose it would rip the hangers off, which seem to have a hard time staying in place just under normal conditions, or possibly rip the cheapass main rails in half LOL.
