As a 4x4 guy I have had to several of my own alignments. Even when I had semi rims on my dually it was wild how many shops where just confused on how to do an alignment.
Man you make me feel so lazy LOL, good stuff. One of the few guys I watch that spins a wrench and shares the good and the bad. Keep Killin It!
Thanks man!
The frustration is real. Thanks for sharing all the struggles.
If you need to get it aligned give Autotech a call tomorrow. We’re in the same parking lot as C&K I do all his alignments. I think just may have even done your c10. Tell them you talked to Josh and I’ll try and squeeze ya in.
You sure did do the C10! If I had more time I would try but I had to get it to Daytona for the finishing touches. New video dropping later today. I'll hit you up when we're back in town!
I’ve done those driveway alignments multiple times without any issue. Keeps me away from those silly alignment guys, and saves money
We had to do align alignment on my buddies' 64 ford wagon in a hotel parking lot during HRPT 2019. Got us that long haul placard!
Hoping we can get this one across the finish line!
Tightening the upper control arms before it’s reassembled and on the ground will prematurely wear the bushings.
If you noticed I removed the jack stand and the weight of the vehicle was on the suspension before tightening
"Keep goin, keep goin, keep goin" 😂😂
I can’t wait to see the wrap! The van is def coming together
Whoever is making the thumbnails for these videos deserves a huge raise.
I do my own alignments all the time. But I would recommend be it Camber or toe you should do both measurements and adjustments with the vehicles full weight on the ground. Also each alignment setting affects the other. Do Camber first before adjusting toe. You had your toe set to your liking but if you adjust your camber after it will mess toe up. Only other main adjustment that's more tricky to do is Caster.. But in proper order of adjustments it is Caster 1st. Camber 2nd. Toe 3rd.
when you find a good shop that maybe a hour or two more away from you stick with them ask around your friends near you
Dude, I had a similar problem last summer. The local shop “aligned” ole Fred and while on power tour all the shims fell out of the upper control arm.. took it back, they “fixed” it. The control arm nuts were still all loose..
Dang man!! That's some scary stuff right there.
threading the needle! good luck on the power tour and enjoy!
if you put a cement pad around back first five cars wide one half wide then put the rest in when funds allow at least you will get your drive back run the electric to a water proof outlet
Yeah Buddy!
I use string off the back wheels
I was thinking about do that too. I haven't done that method before.
@@yeahbuddygarage I did it when I lowered my dually to get it up to be aligned. The toe and chamber were right on. They had to mess with the caster. I saw some nascar guys do it one time. Once you have done it a couple times it’s no longer the black magic you think it is. Love the channel
Same issue before Battle In Bama, had an appointment get there unload off of trailer he looks at it says we cant align it because its been lowered. Then proceeds to tell me he can sell me tires and put them on . I though what kind of stupid sense does that make.
😂😂
Nice video! Keep it up
Bad bearings, lmao, I saw them, no way, they didn’t want to touch it, I grew up in a family auto parts business, if that electric fan doesn’t work, get you a thermal fan clutch from four seasons, they are known for forcing more air, they roar a little is the down side, I ordered one from rock auto on my work van, my ac works way better in traffic now, have a safe trip!!
I'll have to check that fan out! This one works ok (I stole it from the dually) but might need more air flow over the condenser for hot summer days
good stuff
Great video!👍👍👍
Thank you!
Shops will almost always try to sell you stuff you don't need or use it as a excuse because they don't want to deal with it. Good job with the driveway DIY!
Thanks man!
Thrash brother, thrash!
Your rockin those ugly early90’s wheels at least put some 17’s on her maybe a rally sport
Boooooo to that shop!!! Boooooooooo
