Ok my M1009 buddies! I got one to throw out at y'all here and the search function did not answer my question. As you can see by my avatar I keep my 1009 in tip top condition and is pristine other than a few minor problems which is expected with an 84 vehicle.
I put new tires on it after purchase and the problem I'm having was going on before adding the new tires. Well, when the tire shop came to me while it was still on the rack and said they couldn't get the front end alighned. I don't know if they were trying to spiff me out of a few more dollars or what. The fellow doing the alignment job said he did everything he knew how including using a breaker bar, heating it up with a torch and so on....he came back and told me there's NO WAY in heck he could get the job done and I would need new tierods and a tow bar for the front end just to alighn it. On the other hand it makes sense to me because I'm sure the military had probably never gave these vehicles the proper front TLC they needed. The steering almost kind of floats and want to stay to the left. Has anyone else had this similar problem or should I take it somewhere else. My thoughts on taking it somewhere else and something breaks I'm back to square one anyways. I just don't want to be raked over the coals here so from my fellow members what would a job like this $cost$ around? Any help would be appriciated in advance guys...
