I did that, but it has worn the new tire. The truck also pulls to the right. If that helps out. Im thinking something has worn out the truck has almost 200 thousand miles on it. The bump that I feel in the steering happens on acceleration. Ive had the alignment done twice both from diff shops with the same outcome. Thanks in advance for any adivce.

A four wheel alignment beinging done? No worn parts? Like ball joints
think two different shops would not screw up the same. Have you got a level? Put on tire 12 and 6 oclock compare bubble to left bubble should be in side level marks
