The Final CROSS CASTER = (LH - RH) = 4.0 - 4.3 = -0.3 (Normal -1.5 to +0.5) So its good.
Caster +4.0 is much better then +3.0 BUT +5.0 is much better then +4.0, IMO, but those numbers are all "within spec". I know the difference adding +2 makes and you know what it is like to have a +4, only wish we were in the same neighbourhood so we could have a first hand comparision of each others RV. I was in Newport, WA 3 weeks ago at Old American Kampground. That is probably as close to the GWN as I'll ever get. I've been to Toronto - but that doesn't count.
Why did you have the ball joints done?
Did the new ball joints fix the concern?
My 2004 28' E450 has 34,000 miles.
My 2004 just rolled over 114,000 miles on the odometer. At 111,000 miles the ball joints were shot. They had way, way, way, way too much play in them - and Ford's OE joints are permanently lubed.
*groan* Replaced with NAPA joints with zerk fittings. The new joints stiffened up the steering quite a bit.
