Just found this video a while back and thought I'd share it. I also did this on my ride after I replaced one of my ball joints and alignment dead on again!! :)

Sorry, not a GM model but the technique works, Enjoy!!

Dude. Thank you for posting this. I just had a wheel alignment done after installing my leveling kit and I still have to have my steering wheel cocked a bit to the left to go straight down the road. I thought that it was just due to all the crowned roads we have here in Southern Maryland, but I guess they just didn't do it right. Now I'll be able to align my sh*t myself because apparently the "pros" don't know what they're doing. Thanks again!!!

Anytime Brother!! :D when you do your truck, make sure your steering wheel is straight before you start. I had to redo mine but it was so easy and quick I got it done in 10mins (per wheel).

when you are done. double check your steering wheel again and make sure it is straight. if it moved, straighten it out and check the eclipse (that only happened cause I jacked it up). the cookie sheet thing is gold!

just looked at mine again cause I can and its awesome!! $60-80 bucks! Back in your pocket :D

Got it. Thanks again, man. I live on a dirt road so I might not have to use a cookie sheet. We'll see!

anything to help those tires slide. if all else fails, raise the side you are doing just enough to get your wheel to toe-touch the ground. that will take the pressure off the tire so you can adjust easier.
