I've been told in order to get an alignments, "knock outs" have to be removed and they charge an addition $50.00 to do this work. Never heard of such a thing. What are "knock outs"?

Masterknockouts are metal or plastic tabs that the factory puts in trucks so that it holds the alignment that was set at the factory. when you get your first alignment done at a shop they usually have to remove these tabs hence why they are called knock outs. because they have to knock them out to adjust the camber and caster.

Apparently one side of the vehicle has had "alignment" work on it so the "knock out" is gone. I'm just trying to see if information the mechanic is true as I find it hard to trust them when it doesn't make sense.
