On my next alignment I will be remaining in the driver seat. In part to verify that the truck is in alignment mode.There is a very specific way to do an alignment on an air suspension truck. Are you sure your FS tech followed it? Truck must be set to alignment mode.
Next, what is it rubbing? If it's rubbing enough to wear the tires and for you to hear it, it has to be visible within the wheel well.
What size tires are you running? OEM rims and tire size?
Bob will have to please confirm but I think what Bob was referring to was a the sound of the tire scrub. In the first post he said he could almost feel it in the steering wheel.
When turning, the inside tire turns at a much steeper angle as to achieve the tighter radius of the inner circle that it will follow. A lot of times these scrub angles do not coincide with the arch of trajectory that tire is on, causing increased wear. (I wonder if posi-trac contributes to this?)
Another reason that I want to be in the driver's seat, besides proper loading, is because once the alignment is finalized I would like to record how the specs change as I cycle through the the 5 different ride height modes and see if the alignment mode is actually closest to "normal" or "aero" mode.
