I need to get my F250 aligned, is there anywhere around Arlington that knows what the hell they are doing when it comes to alignments?

Call Jacob at 817 350 4467.
He has done alignments for many years, then bought all of his employer's equipment when they retired and built a shop next to his house. He is out in Rendon, just west of Mansfield. I took my 04 F-250, and my ex's 08 Ram to him. $50 each. He won't know my name, but you can tell him a friend of John's from Baldwin Auto gave you his number.
*Disclaimer* I don't know if he is only charging $50 still, but was a few months ago because he was just getting setup and trying to get the word out. Does need to be cash I believe.Comment

With solid front axles I align it myself, and it's been one of the best damn alignments I've ever had."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Kudos to you! How'd you do it?
When I put the new front end under my 95 F150 I used a piece of string on each side, strung at hub height and tied to both front and rear bumpers. I beams were on jack stands and by simply making sure the tires were true to the string had it within factory specs and only off about 2-3 degrees...Comment

Yes that's how I measured, with tape measure between the inside face of each wheel. Get them perfectly equal, then set your toe. After that you just adjust your drag link to center your wheel. If you're really determined you can set a caster variance to adjust for road crown.Originally posted by mikec View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

NOt really an alignment question, but a front end issue in general. Where is a good place to go? I need to find out if my balljoints are bad or if I have other issues.Comment

Ya, I need to find the cheapest (but still quality) place to do the ball joints on my F250.Comment

It's a little drive, but the only shop I would recommend is Diesel Dynamics (http://www.dieseldynamicsllc.com/) They do excellent work and are reasonable.Originally posted by jluv View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
