On the 21st of December, I got my 2005 Tahoe aligned before putting new tires on it. Below is the printout. The tech came out and said "You need new struts". I replied "wow, thats pretty interesting considering it has torsion bars and shocks". He said "yeah you need a new shock on the passenger side... it is straight but the steering wheel is to the right". I didn't say much more as they were already 3 hours late and I had to make my tire appointment.
The shocks on the truck are 1 year old Bilstein B4600 and I see no leaks and the thing rides fine. I'm assuming this is just a wrong call. Now, the steering wheel does naturally stay to the right when driving straight.
Truck has 300k and the upper control arms are factory... new upper ball-joints in 2017/2018.
Should I replace the upper arms? Or is this just a bad alignment? Is the goal to get it as close as you can (is it hard to get it spot on)? Thanks.
