Most shops that do wheel alignments do not pay attention to the wheel wheels,,,they do not put the rear wheels on turntables to determine if the the rear has play causing caster camber or toe...an example would be a bent frame.
However, the gmc front end is nothing new to reputable wheel alignment places that do heavier vehicles like ours and trucks.
One more however..I have attempted to check wheel alignment myself using Work's methods and henderson's methods and would say that the shoips (x2 )of what they said it was.....was supported by my measurements of caster 3.5 +...camber 0 and toe pretty much 0...go0d enough... and those on here who tell of determining if the rear is out of whack or bent ..or play in stub axles....Thanks

Semi shops work on trucks with solid front axles and leaf springs. 99% of the time all they adjust is the toe. You need someone who understands GM A
arm front ends and how caster and camber are adjusted and how the adjustments interact. I bought the Jerry Work home alignment kit and did mine
myself.
