Hi so I got my lower ball joints, idler, pitman, and both cv axles recently done along with an alignment at a different shop. I just noticed I don't have a skid plate anymore. There are no bolts on the truck. Would they take the skid plate off for an alignment and to put the parts in? Thanks in advance! Ryan

 

I think the skid plate would have to come off for that.

 

yeah i did too but tires plus said they wouldn't even touch it. The shop that did the parts work said that they dont have it.

 

To get at the idler and pitman I would say it has to come off as well. It would make all of that easier.

 

It does need to come off to do it they are giving you the run around...

 

ya man the skid plate needs to come off i just did my pitman arm again this past weekend and all the front skid plates need to come off.

 

Yeah I knew they would have to for the idler and pitman but I just didn't know for getting the alignment

 

One of the shops owes you a skid plate basically.

 

Yeah but getting them to own up on it is the hard part since it was a month ago and they blame each other. So I might have to go to the junk yard and find a skid plate.

 

Sounds like a good excuse to go to the junkard!
