I dont remember my alignment being off this bad. He said everything was fine...kingpins...ect. I was rubbing the drivers side outer rib pretty good.
Any ideas on how this could have affected my fuel mileage?
i doubt it had a big impact on mpgs. Maybe a tenth. But as Rawze would have asked them. "What is the allowable tolerances on the kingpins? Did you measure them?" Same with the tie rod ends.

Computerized alignment as good as alignment technician is. Was he follow the procedure without shortcuts or hurry to get next customer. High end equipment is only a tool in mechanic's hands. I'll bet he didn't check is steer axle is 90 degree to the truck frame. He didn't lift truck frame to check front spring pins. If not all his job is BS.
Most problems with premature wear on steer tires comes from the rear tandems being misaligned, alway do all three axles.
