Camber adjustment, straight axle
I have 'early '99 F-350, 4X4 with straight axle. Is camber adjustment possible? Seem to be an eccentric in top king-pin (ball joint) that could "possibly" be replaced with another with less degree. Tire wearing more on inside. No worn parts. Has been this way since new. Camber guage verifys. Just wore out second set of front tires in 48,000 miles. First set were original generals, these are michelins. Most everyone gets better mileage than this. Thanks for any input. Carroll

who said its not recommended to rotate the front on the dually? The dealer. They just don't like to do it because the recommended method is (if you have polished rims) to dismount all tires and rotate to proper position and remount on rims. The rims stay where they are and the tires are rotated. Its expensive, but in the end I still think you are better off then wearing your tires out.
