Mercedes Sprinter Caster Settings

Just for something to do I Googled "Mercedes Sprinter Alignment Specifications".

It looks like the Mercedes Sprinter has a fixed +caster:

LH Caster = +5.8 Degrees
RH Caster = +6.3 Degrees

Now compare that to all our Ford E350/E450 RVs and E250/E350 VANS set at +3.5 Degrees.

    I wonder what it was on the old Toyota/Nissan pickups. They held the centerline well on the road, but without power steering they were very hard to steer forwards into a tight parking space. Backing, it was all but impossible to straighten the wheel if it was cut over to the stops. Church had Chevy, Ford, Dodge and IHC school buses. Every one was easier to steer at low speeds than my Mitsubishi Mighty Max Pickup.
