FOT & Front End Alignments

October 15, 2019, 06:44:42 am

The front passenger side tire is wearing badly. I have an appointment at FOT for late next month.  My wife was telling me she was told FOT outsources their alignments.  I know many moons ago I had the older coach alignment done there. Does anyone know if this is true?

I had one done at FOT in March. The tech was on the line when my coach was built there. It made a huge difference in handling.

I had my alignment done by Bubba at FOT last week. Looks like he did a good job, and I have the computer print out.

Wayne used to do all the alignments at Foretravel but I think he has retired. I've had several alignments done at Foretravel and one at Big Truck Alignment in Lufkin. My experience at BTA was much better than at Foretravel. Also, BTA (at least several years ago) was still doing tire truing in which they shave a bit of material off the tire while mounted in their tire truing machine. BTA is an old school operation but superior in my opinion.

Nine miles south of Lufkin on Hwy 69.  Glenn's dad taught Wayne.  His sons are the very best for solid axle coaches, not IFS.

I used big truck alignment, they did an excellent job. Old school, nothing electronic
