Alignment settings goal review
I'm about to take my 24' E450 class C for it's second wheel alignment armed with more knowledge. Caster is currently set to 3.9, 4.2 degrees, I'll have it set to maximum achievable up to the specif...

Given the amount of camber correction that was needed, that was probably as much caster as he could get. I think they've done the best that can be done with the alignment.
Yes, this could be a significant factor in their decision making process. In my case I did the opposite, I went for the most available +caster at the sacrifice of camber. And yes, I seem to be a lone wolf. :)
I did a DIY check of my CAMBER. I took two sets of readings, the first set with the Drivers Side Air Bag needing pressure. The angle from level was about 0.75 degree drivers side low.
Drivers Side CAMBER was +0.56 Degrees
Passeng Side CAMBER was -0.22 Degrees
After I pressured up the drivers side air bag the angle from level was now 0.49 degrees drivers side low.
Drivers Side CAMBER was then +0.45 Degrees
Passeng Side CAMBER was then -0.39 Degrees.
The Ford Spec for CAMBER is 0.0 Degrees +/- 0.5 Degrees.
So, even though I am accepting what ever CAMBER I get with having an extra +2.0 degrees of CASTER I am still within the CAMBER spec.
From the FWIW department:
The above CAMBERs could be tuned out with the INGALLS 594s and still leave each CASTER with +1.75 out of the +2.00 Degrees max.
