Torsion bar crank and alignment

I recently got my torsion bars cranked on my 2000 Z71. Since then I have gotten two alignments, but it seems like my tires are still turned in at the bottom. Is this normal?

Re: Torsion bar crank and alignment

Did they adjust the camber/caster, or did they just align the tires? ya might wanna ask them and see.

They gave me a printout of the alignment and it had camber, caster, and toe on it. All of the measurements were within specs, but the tires still look like they're tilted in at the bottom.

If I ws you, I'd drive awhile and see how they wear. If they wear funny, take it back to where you got it aligned and show them.
