Hauled the heaviest load I’ve had in it. and added 430hp to my truck! Ls3 for my project truck.

Omg AI is terrifying. That’s a pretty solid image. The truck needs to be adjusted while sitting on the suspension. One section makes that less obvious. Noteworthy that Tesla recommends setting the alignment at medium height. I want to check the difference in toe specifically at low, medium...

That one is a little more complicated. Involves string and jackstands. If you do the string and jackstands method you can get the toe angle sorted at the same time as the TA If that’s something that interests you.

Nope, it’s tedious to do the old fashioned way but it can be done with tape measures, a straight edge, and an angle finder.

In high school/early college I aligned cars at a small alignment shop. The OEM specs are almost always too lenient. Especially for Toe (which is most responsible for abnormal tire wear). I paid 270 IIRC at Tesla for an alignment. Next time I’ll likely just align it at home as I wasn’t thrilled...

Wheels and tires do not impact your alignment FWIW.

I did! The day before the launch, when they scrubbed it I was flying down 100 to get home in time…for the cancellation. Lol. Actual launch day I was here in time. I recommend trying to come see one where they plan to return to the launch pad. The launches are cool but the return is mind...

Dang! How hard did you hit the curb? Or did you hit the curb with the windshield? That’s a wild one.

I remember that one. My pool was full of powdered concrete. Well that’s an exaggeration. But there was a considerable amount….

Yep, I’m on the bay side. hoping to get the “ok” for a shop so I can have more garage space. CT is living outside until then. The climate down here is impressively harsh.

Howdy neighbor.

Damn I’m enjoying this forum.

Gonna be wicked. Cant wait to see finished results.

Third (known good) gauge is needed to be sure. But it’s entirely possible the tire shops gauge was incorrect. It’s even plausible that both are incorrect. If it was me; I’d drop the pressure to 50 in the truck if I wasn’t interested in checking with a known good gauge.

Yep. I liked that system a lot. 10% was my “go to”. Small town cops have zero sense of humor.
