Mine got a deep dent when I got T-Boned on the way to the union picnic two years ago. I had a core differential rebuilt, and replaced the trailing arms, but missed the ding in the shaft. The truck would vibrate excessively above 60 MPH. Now it runs smooth.
Still have to see if the frame needs straightening, or its only out of alignment.
Overnight? My guy took about 4 weeks. But he's a one man band, and said his alignment computer burned its chip.  |
Yes mine had a slight vibration as well, figured it was a bad ujoint. The shop had it finished same day but they waited until morning so the new paint had time to dry. Trucks running nice and smooth now.
4 weeks is a bit of a wait, I see some of the online builders will get one out in a few days after you send your measurements.
I figured a week for mine, had to have him repeat it when he said I could have it in the morning.
