alignment
I have my truck in to get the alignment corrected. It has 2 degrees more cast that is recommended for our trucks ( a total of 4 degrees).
From what I understand there is no adjustment for caster so I am guessing they will be replacing parts. My truck has been like this since it was new ( 2006) and now has 21000 miles. Has any one else had a situation like this?  |

Re: alignment
FYI they charge $20 a bolt x 4 = $80, if its warranty work you should be in the clear tho.

Re: alignment
You're probably too late to have the cam bolts done under TSB, but it'd be worth a try. Otherwise, you're probably looking at around a $300 dollar job. But you're going to burn tires off if you don't, and that's WAY more expensive.

If it has 4° positive caster, and you are OK with the way it handles, leave it alone. Caster affects the steering effort and straight-line tracking. It will have little or no affect on tire wear. If it is camber, then yes that will wear one edge of the tire faster than the other. Have you done any suspension mods to change the ride height?

 I was told by another dealer (Ford) that just because there is a TSB on something doesn't mean is has to be replaced for free. They told me TSB's were sorta an FYI thing. Is there any truth to the matter?
