Hi there, Sorry to hear about all your car troubles. My Name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I am an ASE Master Tech here to assist you with your vehicle. Please understand I am not there with you, But I am here to help. Any information about what is going on is greatly appreciated. The system will ask for a phone call, Please let me know if you want this option as I am not always available to do so. Be aware that I am assisting many customers at the same time and will get back to you as quickly as I can but I cannot get answers immediately as I am not a computer. I like to research each answer before I get back to you to ensure that I give out the correct info. Thank you for understanding. As with any toe in or out condition the best thing to do is to start with an alignment. I have worked at a ton of shops over the years and the first thing any shop will do is a suspension inspection before performing an alignment. Make sure to ask for that. If they find something wrong have them show you and then take the vehicle back home, fix it and then bring it back in for the alignment. You can perform a basic alignment at home with just a tape measure but this is usually only done to get the vehicle back to a shop to have an alignment completed or if you only off road the truck then this would suffice. A normal alignment will cost around $100-150 depending on the shop. Make sure to ask for a printout of the vehicle alignment sheet. This way you know it was done correctly and keep this for your records later.
