F 350 2WD Super Duty V10-6.8L (2009)
-
required camber adjustment = 0.62 - 1.85 = -1.23.
-
preferred caster adjustment = 4.0 - 3.0 = 1.0, however not required.
8. Using the Camber/Caster Service Adjuster table, determine the appropriate replacement service adjuster needed to correct alignment. There is
usually more than one combination of service adjuster and orientation that can be chosen to achieve alignment measurements within specifications.
If a compromise is required, choose the adjuster and orientation which optimizes the camber value and maximizes the caster value.
Example: continuing the above example,
-
Choose an adjuster with a one and a quarter degree adjustment circle.
-
Set the adjuster to the 180 degree position to achieve a -1.25 degree camber and 0 degree caster shift setting.
NOTE: When selecting a replacement service adjuster to achieve the desired amount of camber and caster offsets, caution is required to make sure
that all other alignment characteristics (camber split, caster split and individual caster) are maintained to within their specified ranges. When in doubt
of which service adjuster to choose, make the selection which achieves measured results closest to the optimal targets in the following order of
priority:
-
Caster split
-
Individual camber
-
Camber split
-
Individual caster
9. Remove the 0 degree service adjusters and install the appropriate replacement service adjusters to the correct rotational orientation specified in the
Camber/Caster Service Adjuster table.
10. Install the pinch bolt with a new nut and tighten to 80 Nm (59 lb-ft).
11. Verify the camber and caster settings, adjust as necessary.
-
Once the optimal caster/camber has been achieved, check the total toe and adjust as necessary. For additional information, refer to Toe
Adjustment - F-250 and F-350 Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) See: Toe Adjustment.
