Factory alignment cams ?
Does anyone know what degree the factory cams are, or if all the axles leave the factory with the same ones even? I want to fix my caster, but we don't stock the cams for the newer trucks so I have to order them and need to figure out what to order to get everything where I want it, I just don't want to have to pull the factory cams out just to figure it out degree I'm starting with. Truck is an 06' BTW, we have cams for up to 04' just not for the newer trucks.

Truck Toys Performance ( FTE sponsor) sells the Icon Alignment Cam Kit for $102.00. They can probably tell you what the specifications are of your stock cams.

Yeap! The title of the thread and the OP's original post mentions cams but he also stated that he wanted to adjust the caster... maybe the OP can clarify.

I guess on the 05 and up the castor adj uses cams also.

Looks like you have to remove the nut and you may see a mark or get the adj units..

On pre 05' fords the cams adjust both camber and caster. After looking at the pics on link of that last post, they changed the design and now you need a two piece bushing to do what a one piece could do on the older trucks. Pretty dumb if you ask me, their old design worked great. I'll have to do a little research, those double double adjustable bushings for less money would be better, that way you can get everything perfect.

They still make the single ones for the 05-09. 99-04 did camber only didn't they?
Wasn't castor changed with a spring shim?.
