Tire alignment question!?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
How far are you planning to drive in the next week? If the alignment is out it's going to wear the tires faster, but it wont instantly stuff them unless it's really bad. If you are only driving 20 miles a day, probably no problem waiting a week. If you plan on a 2,000 mile trip, get the aligment done first.

Have a front end check to be sure. loose parts are going to rquire replacement.

If you hear the tires moreso when turning, it can be a sign of excessive toe.

That would make me park it and check everything for looseness or damage first.

If you need a wheelpack, or other service, do your alignment the very last thing.

If you can run a tape, measure like a farmboy would.

Then you know for sure.

Depends on how badly they are out of alignment?

I would have waited to install the tires until you were ready for the alignment. But usually a week won't matter.

Check to see if the ball joint & control arm are worn out. Sometimes that what causes the alignment to go out.

Okay so I got some new mt toyos for my truck just 2 days ago and my truck was already out of alignment when I put them on. My question is will it hurt the tires badly if I let it go till next week? Truck drifts to the right when I let go of wheel but not to badly. Steering wheel is also a little out of lime when going straight which is another sign. Thanks for the advice!
