I’m feeling kind of frustrated and confused past few days and figured I’d ask yall how I should handle this situation.I brought my 96 Chevy Silverado K1500 to a very reputable automotive shop here in Elberta,Alabama to get an alignment. They called me after it only being in there for 2 hours and said when they tightened the passenger axle hub nut,That it pulled the CV axle out of its socket cause it was “Too short”, I never had any issues with the CV’s on install or driving,I told them to go ahead and replace it with the correct one I need then. My wife picked the truck up when it was ready and on the receipt they stated I needed “Adjustable tie rods”. They also wrote that they got the Alignment “As close as possible”.They didn’t include the paper with the alignment #’s that I normally see people get after said alignment.Truck drives better but still kinda wonky.This is a shop where we bring our family’s personal vehicles and a entire fleet of service trucks,around 30 or so trucks from my wife’s electrical business she owns.Has anyone heard of “Adjustable tie rods”.I thought the ones I bought were “Adjustable” because it has a sleeve in the middle like normal and you just tighten the bolt when it’s good.Any and help would be very much appreciated!!
