Wheel Alignment Specifications & Procedures: Adjustments Ford RV Cutaway E350

ADJUSTMENTS

Note. Prior to performing wheel alignment, perform visual and mechanical inspection of wheels, tires and suspension components. See PRE-ALIGNMENT CHECKS in the WHEEL ALIGNMENT THEORY & OPERATION article in GENERAL INFORMATION.

CAMBER & CASTER ADJUSTMENT

1. Measure camber and caster to determine adjustment required. Record specifications for use in selection of camber/caster adjusters. To adjust, raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel assembly. Loosen pinch bolt at top of upper ball joint and pry adjuster out of axle.
2. Install appropriate camber/caster adjuster and rotate to desired adjustment. Camber/caster adjusters are available in 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 degree increments. (Scheme 3) Tighten pinch bolt to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-62352-S36763114152001011800000). Install wheel assembly. Check wheel alignment to verify correct adjustment.

Scheme 3

TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT

1. Measure toe-in with front wheels straight-ahead, and steering wheel locked in centered position. Adjust toe-in by loosening clamps and adjusting sleeve to obtain correct specification. Maintain steering wheel in centered position.
2. If steering wheel is not centered prior to wheel alignment, determine which wheel assembly is out of adjustment, and compensate that side to center steering wheel. Multiple attempts may be necessary to properly center steering wheel.
3. When tightening clamps, ensure clamp bolts are positioned so there will be no interference with other parts throughout entire travel of steering linkage.
