If it’s been that long since you changed your hubs and you’re in Jersey you’re going to have tons of FUN when you go to replace them. I bet they are super corroded at this point and will be a bear to get out.

Oh, we have our ways here in the rust belt...

I changed the 1 hub--ds I think--at around 225--240k, and it was a PITA! Rusty as hell. Other side is still nice n quiet.
Bet I just jinxed myself.

Can be abs but usually ends up being a hub bearing and like mentioned you can see abs data and see which one is bad

2nd you can printout after car is off lift. At least on a hunter machine cause I can go back and get before/after on ANY alignment been done. Sounds like they hiding something considering they said they got it as good as they could

Pic was after it was rebalanced.

Steering feels much better then before. I don't think there's excessive play--if the is I'm probably used to it, it does have over 295,000 on it lol. I know thete's a way to tighten up the box some--and you can mess it up if you go too much.
Idk what the deal was with the printout. I asked and he said the tech hit the printout but it didn't, and once the vehicle is off the machine you can't print it after the fact. I just hope they're not trying to hide something from me. I had given him the old one to see what the deal was and when I asked for them back he said the tech said they blew out the window on the test drive. Why the f@ck would he take them with him on a test drive?

Yeah, I thought my steering was ok until I replaced the idler and pitman arms. Now it feels new. Very tight. There’s almost zero play.

Wtf. I can’t believe the shit you’re dealing with there man. They say it blew out the ******* window..?? ********! Excuses excuses. These guys are a joke too! What did you pay for the alignment? I’d demand a printout. That’s horseshit.

Blew out the window with their credibility lol.

Steering arms really do make a difference same 260k mile steering box with no adjustments here and it's as tight as can be.

You could have an ABS module that's just worn out. I fought with my s10 for a while. Replaced every single brake part. Master, booster, calipers, lines, drums, wheel cylinders, everything. Bought the tool to bleed ABS, wouldn't connect. I deleted the abs with a late 80s s10 proportioning valve. That fixed it. Obviously I tried to keep abs for safety reasons but the ol dime was right at 300k and I wasn't spending $1,200 for a reman abs module. She rolled 362K on my way home from work yesterday

How you like those tires??

I haven't taken it out yet. I'm afraid of the salt attacking the rust spots that are on it now making it 100 times worse. NJ uses a whole lot of salt.

Boo!

not likely, the pedal surge means the abs is working it's just receiving erratic data from a sensor, if the abs was out the lamp would be lit and you would not have any abs function at all, it would be old school brakes only.
