Ford admits to "Generic Alignment"
I never thought I would live to see the day that Ford actually admitted to the "generic alignment". Ford Generic Alignment Thanks to handle "ruffingit" for the posting the experience.

It is not possible to align a bare unload cut-away chassis so that the alignment is good for the end product. Given each motor home has it's own weight and weight distribution, also considering the changes that are often done to the wheel base. I can surely understand the use of the term "Generic Alignment". It's enough to get the chassis yard-driven without ruining the tires.
Some motor homes have excessive weight on the front axle squirting out the front tires from the center, while other rigs have the front axle too light, causing the front tires to angle-in toward the center. Ford cannot anticipate and accommodate for such extreme variation.
