You absolutely don't want toe-OUT. What were/are your CASTER settings?

Do you happen to have an alignment report you could share? Specifically Toe, Camber and Caster settings.
Thanks.

Both brackets are now installed but I hit a roadblock when I started to install the bar itself. It requires a couple of 1 1/8 inch wrenches to install. I don't have anything that large. I will need to pick up an open end wrench and a socket for the torque wrench. It appears the bar is going to line up well with the brackets and with good clearance between the differential and the gas tank.

I often think, what would we do without this users group which provides almost instantaneous information and ideas on how to live with the Ford E350/E450.

As an electrical engineer, I appreciate how you worded this. I don't know for sure yet, but I am anticipating that I will need more then just the input capacitors.

So the 2008-2013 are definitely better, but not as good as yours is now in the way of stability.j-d is correct. It's all a short coming with Ford. Ford really needs to equip every "Marketed For Motor Home" chassis with the parts we add afterward.
I feel that should be mandated by the NTSB because it really is a matter of safety with a very easy and affordable solution that won't hurt Ford one bit. They only need to install parts already available, and pass the residual cost into the purchase price.
I am not an advocate for "Government Regulations", but this is one area they need to get involved to address this safety issue. The answer is easy and the cost is negligible to all parties. Ford is already installing those parts.....just install the right parts.
I agree. I know when I bought my RV, I did not expect I would be crawling around underneath adding parts to the suspension. I have a 2007 E350, did Ford make any suspension improvements to the current model? I do like all the power that I get out of the V10.
