Ranger 2WD L4-2.3L (2009)
Alignment: Description and Operation
Incorrect Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)
Wheel Alignment Angles
Front caster and camber are adjusted by replacing the upper arm alignment set shims with washers. This allows for adjustment of the arm in the frame
slot.
Front toe is adjusted by the use of the inner tie rods.
Incorrect Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)
Incorrect thrust angle (dogtracking) is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned roads can give the illusion of
dogtracking.
