Need Alignment expert/help.
I have a 2001 F250 4x4 v10. Okay I replaced my lower tie rods. The big one that goes straight across the bottom, from the left wheel to the right wheel.
Before replacing the tie rods my truck went straight down the road. I replaced the parts with Moog both sides and a new adjusting sleeve.
Okay after doing the above work, I went yesterday and had an alignment done at my local Ford garage. I get my truck back and noticed that the truck is pulling to the right. I have to keep the wheel a few degree's to the left. And as soon as I let go of the wheel it veers to the right.
So today I call them and get it in to have checked out. They sqeeze me in, and I get it back right at closing. The alignment tech is already gone and doesn't road test it after. I pick it up, and drive 25 miles on the interstate to get home. Now it is pulling to the Left just opposite of before.
Here is my print out numbers after the first alignment:
Front Left: -0.1deg. camber, 4.4deg. caster, 0.01deg. toe.
Front Right: -0.2 camber, 4.5 caster, -0.05 toe.
Total Toe: -0.05
Steer ahead: 0.03
The second alignment printout I got has no information on it to tell me what they changed.
Tomorrow I will call and have an appointment made for Monday(next day off).
Any help I can get, before I take it back in for the third time?
Thanks.
