Usually the axle shift is from the track bar being too long/too short, not from the long arm length.


Or by "pulled 'in'" do you mean pulled forward/backward?

The place i got mine done says one year warranty. I take it in every time I go wheeling. I cant afford new tires every year. So yeah until I get the big steering arm kit I will continue to buy 80 dollar alignments with one year warranties.
