checking if it has been in for a while. Even a new one could be bad.

Didn't think about that. I had replaced my damper with a Bilstein 51 series about 4 years ago. Figured it was ok. I'll check that out

Thx.

Re-alignment done.

Well, just got home from the dealer.

What a difference the second alignment made to my truck. Drives straight as an arrow.

As you can see the first alignment specs were off.

Tech who did the re-alignment today worked on the gurl till he got her within spec.
Steers better and tracks straight.

I'm happy with it. Still going to check steering stabilizer. I think I'll just call in for a replacement. It has a lifetime warranty and everything else is new up front.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Just thought you all wanted to know.
