Default Alignment Shop

Whats up everyone. Been a while since I posted anything here. My s2000 is long gone for the better part of 5 years which is why I've been absent from the forum. I was just wondering whos got the alignment shop on lock locally? I recently picked up a 2021 Colorado z71 and this thing hasn't tracked straight off the dealer lot. (steering wheel left, truck pulls right). I Brought it back to the dealer I bought it from twice and told they "Fixed it". Well.....they didnt. At this point I'm willing to pay a shop to just have it done the right way. I remember back when I was more active here, Camber Toe in Lynbrook was the spot. Any other guidance is appreciated.

Switch the front tires left to right.

Almost guaranteed brother.

I have been correcting your exact problem for over 30 years.

The tires develop a radial pull, due to the crown of the road. Once reversed, a slight pull to the LEFT will result.

Within 50 miles, the left pull will disappear and the car will drive perfect. You’ll likely enjoy that for the life of the current tires.

hey Mark
CamberToe is still on the map but I know there's another guy out on the island that the race guys are using. I can't think of his name right now maybe someone else can chime in.

You shouldn't be going to any shop but the dealer to get this fix, this is a brand new truck, it's there issue to get it straighten out or give you another truck

Good info.

Don't think this applies to a brand new 2021 vehicle unless it already has thousands of miles on it.
