I HAVE AN FORD F 150 - 2004 2 WD TRUCK THAT

They are fixed and require a kit to be installed to make them adjustable. Then you need a front end alignment machine to adjust all of it correctly

I used to align these. You need to replace the struts bolts with a camber kit. What this is, is a replacement bolt with an offset cam which will allow the strut to be pushed in or out depending on which way you need to go. Caster need not be adjusted. Toe will need to be. You purchase one kit and it should come with the bolt for both sides. Have them replace the top bolt and adjust accordingly. Let me know if you need anything like specs or anything.

Take it to your mechanic and ask them to check your tie rods and then an alignment.

The independant shop is correct, as well as the dealer. There are aftermarket parts available (and required, in my opinion) that allow for adjustment. Do that and be happy.

The dealer has only FORD stuff and they are clueless about this issue. They think replace parts and everything is okay and it is NOT.

Get the aftermarket parts, which have adjustable, ecentric attributes that allow for adjustment.

The front end needs to be aligned perfectly, or burn tires.

you need to let an alignment shop handle it. The vehicle has to be perfectly level front to rear and side to side, if this is not correct the alignment will not be accurate.

you can have it aligned and they will use a off set cam at upper ball joint to realign front end if it is not real bad, but the right way to fix it would be to replace the springs and then have it aligned. hope this helps.

First make an appointment for a front end alignment which will be required after replacing the ball joint. Securely support the vehicle under the lower control arm at the outer end, the end nearest the tire. The upper ball joint is attached to the upper control arm with 2 large nuts. Under the nuts are cams with hex heads for adjusting caster and camber. Mark the position of these cams in a way that will allow you to reinstall them somewhere near the same position. Next remove the outer end of the joint from the steering knuckle an then remove the 2 nuts and both cams from the control arm end. Reinstall and get that alignment asap !

You have to leave all of the slack at the tensioner. Get the timing marks lined up on both of the cams and the crank. With the slack left at the tensioner, release the tensioner. It is okay if the marks move a little after this. Manually turn the engine crankshaft twice and then MAKE SURE THE MARKS LINE UP! If they do after two revolutions of the engine, you are good to go. This applies wether or not you are at DTC or not! Remember that!
