There's a string alignment procedure on my personal site.

Don,

I understand the problem of distance, I field calls every week like that.

Find a truck shop that can align tractor trailers, they will have the geer
to do a 6 wheel alignment. If they are game, pick up the phone and let me
talk to the mechanic there. I'll be glad to talk him through the alignment
procedure for his equipement.

I have found that a good alignment and tire truing will yeald a super ride
if the suspension is tight mechanically.

Please call on Free Fri. & I'll spend time with them. I have done this
many times with good results.

Hope this will help,

Jim Bounds
