Alignment

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

Yep: When you knock the crap out of a curb in a turn with the tag & or rear drive. I was quoted 600 bucks for the three axle alignment from Prevost Nashville in 2006. Plus parts if needed.

Inflation has not hit Prevost yet. They have always been High on price.

Roger, then does that mean that my bus had the crap knocked out of it?

Jimmy C: Those long cold winters in the frozen north are not making you paranoid are they?

Get that bus out and ride, find some bugs to splatter on the windshield. It makes life a lot better when you are burning diesel fuel and making smoke.

and to answer your question =No, that bus was treated very gently while in the southland by yours truly.

Jim C., Don't worry about little things like that. Roger was thinking about you when they gave him that price. He said, "I think I'll let the next owner worry about this one."

Actually, if you haven't noticed a tire problem by now, I doubt that you have an alignment problem. Considering the way the commercial bus drivers handle the buses, I think the alignment components are rather sturdy and don't "necessairly" need adjustment every time we hit a curb.

I see, it was then, a hypothetical example of what would need to be done to the bus for it to require a three axle alignment.
