Alignment Question??
Hey Guys... Just a quick question to you techie's, I just had my truck aligned after a long and bumpy winter, But I forgot about the 400 lbs of sand i had in the back for winter traction, and they aligned it with the weight in the back. I took the sand out today and that's when I remembered. Would this have effected the alignment, and should i pring it back to have it re- ajusted?? Thanks

Since you have an F250, I'm guessing it has the independent front suspension. If the alignment included castor/camber adjustment with the truck loaded, then you might want to have them check it without the load. Having a load on it could change the castor/camber measurements, since the fron wheels will move independently of each other. If it has a solid front axle, then having it loaded probably won't make any difference.

Thanks... I also forgot that when i got the alignment I was low on Go-Go Juice... Really low, and when i filled up i put 72.50 in at 2.49 a gal... 72.5/2.49=29.11... 29.11*8 (1 gal of diesel weighs about 8 lbs) = 232.9... 400-232.9= 167.1 lbs of weight in the back over empty w/ filled tanks.. so I think i should be ok thanks again...
