ISSUE
Wheel alignment on incomplete vehicles is not reimbursable.
ACTION
After build-up of incomplete vehicles, realign vehicles to factory specification. Setting vehicles to factory specification should resolve all alignment
issues. Refer to the following text for details.
INCOMPLETE VEHICLES (Cut-Away, Strip Chassis)
Wheel alignment on incomplete vehicles (cut-away, strip chassis) is not reimbursable due to installation of special bodies or equipment after the vehicles
leave the assembly plant. If readjustment is necessary, follow the instructions in the 1998 Econoline Workshop Manual to reset the alignment back to
OEM specification. The cost for such realignment is the responsibility of the final stage manufacturer or modifier.
INCOMPLETE VEHICLES (Conversion Vans)
On incomplete vehicles (conversion vans), toe must be checked by the final stage manufacturer and is not reimbursable. Should toe readjustment be
necessary, follow the instructions in the 1998 Econoline Workshop Manual to reset the alignment to OEM specification. The cost for such realignment is
the responsibility of the final stage manufacturer or modifier. Note that occasionally van conversions will require additional adjustments (i.e., caster and
camber). If such adjustments are required, they are reimbursable per the Warranty and Policy Manual.
