Does it matter?

Just so you'll know, twin I-beam Ford suspensions of certain years are particularly disposed to wandering. They require an aftermarket offset bushing in the upper kingpin to get more than the factory caster (non-adjustable). Some have reduced/controlled, but have not cured the problem, by installing a steering stabilizer.

Camber is more important to get even tire wear across the tread. Caster is what keeps the wheels on shopping carts tracking straight ahead. (They have no camber.)

All good advice.

I thought It was the camber +5 degrees that would heal the wander problem?

Nope camber should be 000.

Doesn't matter. Sway bar does not and cannot affect steering alignment.

Alignment is last in the chain.

I would wait till I had everything done that I was going to do to the front end, then align it last.

That’s my thought also, thx for the input,
