So long story short....bought 4 Duratrac 275/65/18 through Anazon. Good price and quick delivery. They offered mounting and balancing at Mavis for about 50 bucks off of regular price. Sounded great!

They installed them and told me I had outside wear on my front tires and recommended an alignment.

I knew about the wear and just recently changed the shocks to Rancho 5500x. I figured it wouldn't hurt to check my alignment settings.

Alignment done in 15 minutes! I asked for a printout...the printer is broken! Didn't want to argue so I paid and drive it home with the intention of taking it to a different Mavis and get it checked.

I drove home, about an hour ride, and the jeep was wandering all over the road. I'm not sure if it's due to the new tires or if they messed something up.

Anyway I'm sitting here at another Mavis
it's been up on the rack for about 45 minutes.

Anything I should be looking for once I get my printout?


Thanks for listening to my rant!

Why is there no caster reading? How did they change the camber when we have no camber adjustment?

Dannyboy100

Yeah no idea. I asked him that , he said it's not adjustable so no reading.
I didn't buy it, but I figured everything else looked to be in spec. So...
The before looks like a mess, although admittedly I dont know enough to have an opinion.
Good point on the camber, anyone have any ideas?

I did drive it on the highway and seems more stable.

By that theory, the only thing it would read then is toe, cuz on factory, that is the only thing they can adjust besides centering the steering wheel. That place sounds jacked, and i bet their machine is jacked as well. Personally, I would try a different place. Whether something is adjustable or not does not determine if the machine should read it and note the specs.

I would not trust either the pre or post readings from that place.

Dannyboy100

Yeah I agree...I only agreed to have them do the alignment out of convenience. I should've known better.
Although the second location was better than the first.
With everything going on I dont know when I'd be able to get it to a reputable spot.
So question, are the numbers that show up on these sheets able to be manually changed?
How else would I get a different reading for camber before and after.
I will say though, it's driving 100 times better than before.
