Harvard. I had read your posts and they are of great help but I’m confused. In one of your posts you said this
“”” Quote If you are not a DIY owner I would suggest you purchase a set of INGALLS 594 Camber/Caster sleeves then make an appointment with an alignment shop. Be very specific in your instructions asking them to install these sleeves SET TO 0.0 Degrees CAMBER and +2.0 Degrees CASTER then align the TOE IN to be within TOE spec while accepting the resulting CAMBER and CASTER AS IS! Trust me, it will be well worth the effort IF you own a wandering E350/E450.”” End quote
As I’m going to go to an alignment shop and tell them their business I would like to know. Are they to do the above process to set the toe in and then continue on for the caster to be set in the 5 range as you had outlined
If in doubt, at least insist on getting over +5 degrees caster AND explain to them you understand it will require different upper ball mount sleeves to do that.... The sleeves that come from the Ford assembly line are NOT adjustable.
The TOE must ALWAYS be set AFTER the CASTER and CAMBER are established.
All I did was set the adjustable sleeves to ADD +2.0 MORE CASTER and 0.0 CAMBER, then I adjusted the TOE. I ended up with 2 more degrees of caster and the camber was the same as it was before I started. At the time I did that I had no idea of how this meddling may turn out. It was just a stroke of luck that it was exactly what my wandering problems needed.
