cranked up t-bars?

I'd go to a different alignment shop. I went through 3 before I found one that knew what the hell they were doing. First 2 said they had everything all aligned and setup.

Have you checked the ball joints? If your wheels are "deeper" than stock wheels, Your ball joints will wear out faster.

Would cranking the t bar make differnce, even with an alignment?

Bad wheel bearings...... change them and have a different shop align it and you should fine.

If you got an alignment after you adjusted them then no.

Problem is you think a shop is going to tell you they couldn't align your rig properly? I went through a number of shops before I found a knowledgable mechanic that knew what the **** he was doing..

Any good shop should of been able to identify a bad wheel bearing before doing an alignment...

:iagree: :iagree: with mud. After Installing the fabtech tierods, I knew my bearings where shot but that was next weekends project... anyway i took it for an alignment at a shop Close by but had never used, just to see if it was close after the install... They said nothing about my bearings but did try to sell me an oil change.
