E450 ball joints during alignment
I wanted to add this to the recent "revived" thread about the alignment fix on Fords.....but can't find it now. I'm sad and mad. I took my E450 C to a shop that I thought was honest and competent ...

Tire pressure I run 70 psi in the front and 65 psi across the rear.
As far as caster settings, I don't know, but there is no aftermarket caster adjustment on it.
How did you arrive at those pressure settings ?
Before you do anything else, you need to get them to the recommendation. Different rig but mine is 65 front and 80 (dual) rear.
After that, an honest alignment shop (good luck with that) which has some experience with the E-series class C's should be able to inspect the ball joints and "fix" the alignment. Cost me about $350.
I still haven't driven mine but given the glowing reports from a LOT of other owners I don't expect to be disappointed.
Recommended by the tire dealer... Originally it came with D rated tires with a recommendation of 60 across the rear and 65 up front. I upgraded the tires to E rated and added a little more air pressure. I think the rear is less because there are more tires carrying the weight.
