Alignment

I have four new tires, new Seckel bolts and hangers now do I need to have the camper's axels aligned? Thank!

If the previous tires were not wearing uneven, and all you did was replace the bolts and shackles with the same sizes, you should be OK, but if anything appeared off, get it checked.

I would say absolutely yes. Anytime any suspension component is disturbed or changed, alignment should be checked. Look at it like this; You just spent a lot of money for new tires. Do you really want to guess as to whether the alignment is correct to save a fraction of what you spent?

Steve, As Rohrman says shackles and bolts shouldn't change your alignment. I'd just watch my tire wear very closely. First sign of uneven tire wear I'd then have it aligned. See you in Nebraska next month. Jim
