SUSPENSION:FRONT
99 FORD 250 SUPER DUTY CANNOT ADJUST CAMBER/CASTER WITHOUT CHANGING THE BUSHINGS. THE ALIGNMENT COMPUTER SHOWS "VALUE IS NOT WITHIN SPECIFICATION. TIRE WEAR, HANDLING AND SAFETY PROBLEMS MAY RESULT." FORD WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT ADJUSTABLE UNLESS A KIT IS ADDED AT MY EXPENSE. FORD CLAIMS IT IS A WEAR ITEM AND IS NOT COVERED. IF THIS PIECE WEARS OUT IN 14,157 MILES, FORD HAS A SAFETY PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER. THE TRUCK HAS PULLED TO THE RIGHT SINCE IT WAS NEW. EVIDENTLY THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. SINCE KITS ARE AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ( IF CAUGHT WITHIN 12,500). THEY ARE SHIPPED WITH NON-ADJUSTABLE KITS, THAT ARE LOCKED IN AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. *AK
