Fig. 5 Caster/Camber Adjustment
1980-87 F-150-350 4 X 4 & BRONCO, 1982-87 F-100-350 4 X 2 W/BALL JOINTS
The caster angle on 1981-87 F-250-350 4 x 4 models with leaf spring front suspension can be adjusted by inserting a shim between the spring and
axle. Shims are available in increments of 0°, 1° and 2°. The 0° shim is used to adjust side to side ride height when an angled shim is installed on the
opposite side of the axle. On all other models, the caster angle is designed into the axle and is not adjustable.
The camber angle may be adjusted by means of mounting sleeves placed on the upper ball joint, Figs. 9, 10 and 11. Four sleeves are available in
{1/2}° camber increments to allow a 3° range of adjustment from - 1 {1/2}° to +1 {1/2}°.
TOE-IN, ADJUST
Check the steering wheel spoke position when the front wheels are in the straight ahead position. If the spokes are not in the normal position, they can
be adjusted while toe-in is being adjusted.
1.
Loosen clamp bolts on each tie rod end sleeve.
2.
Adjust toe-in. If steering wheel spokes are in their normal position, lengthen or shorten both rods equally to obtain correct toe-in. If spokes are not
in normal position, make necessary rod adjustments to obtain correct toe-in and steering wheel spoke alignment.
