Camber caster

Took my truck in today to have it aligned and the guy said they was just able to get the toe in spec that the camber caster bushings needed replaced or they was maxed oUT cant remember. What's involved in replacing these?

Sounds like he was talking about the ball joints. You have replaced a lot of parts lately. Were the ball joints among them?

I feel like they should be able to set the toe as long as the balljoints and tierod ends are good.

To adjust caster they have to add the caster/camber pushing which goes on the balljoint. It will take a shop a few hours.

Yup. Ball joints are brand new moog. I'll call them tomorrow and see if I can get the print out. He showed it to me but I don't really know how to read them. I think he said the camber was positive by 2 degrees and that my toe was maxed out.
