Default Wheel Alignment Specs?



Had a wheel alignment done at a local shop the other day after a leveling kit and slightly larger tires were installed. From the reading I've done it looks like my numbers might be a little off. Called the dealer to get alignment specs with no luck. Anyone have the alignment specs or had an alignment done recently?

I would set the camber at -0.2*or -0.3* caster +4.2* to +4.5* try to keep caster set a bit higher on the right side to compensate for road crown. Then I would set the total toe anywhere from +.20* to +.30*.

Ford got back to me today and your numbers are spot on.

Alignment specs from Ford:
Camber: Left side -0.1 +/- (0.75). Right side -0.1 +/- (0.75)
Caster: Left side +3.4 +/- (1). Right side +3.8 +/- (1)
Total toe: +0.20 +/- (0.10)

I just had my alignment done after putting on leveling kit, new tires, and new rims. Want to know if these specs are good or if I should go back for further adjustments. The print out machine was down so they took a picture and texted it to me. Final numbers are below.

Left Front Camber: -0.3 Right Front Camber: -0.9
Left Front Caster: 3.7 Right Front Caster: 3.9
Left Front Toe: 0.02 Right Front Toe: 0.02
Total Toe: 0.03
Steer Ahead: 0.00

Unhappy Please help alignment question and don't know how to make post

A 2017 Ford F-150 Crewmax 4 by 4 with Pro Comp lift 35 inch tires had uneven tire wear on driver side front so I took it in to get an alignment and bought two brand new tires the new tires were put on the rear and the rear tires would still had about 70% tread were put on the front now truck wanders all over the highway and feels like it has tons of body roll down and almost wants to beer out of the lanes in each Direction when you barely touch the steering wheel

Default Are my measurements good?


Why would firestone not set my measurements to the middle of the spec or am i missing other things to consider on why they wouldnt or couldnt? I Paid for the lifetime alignment so i can get rechecked anytime. Thanks for your help

for $240 they arent going to spend all day trying to get it dead center (i just had mine done there after redoing my front end), which is very difficult to do. You can adjust it to one number, snug it up and the values are going to walk a little, hence the acceptable range.
