1979 Caster?
Have a 79 F-150 4x4. Could someone with a manual tell me what the stock caster setting should be? Thanks for any help.

I have a manual right here, and it says the Caster and Camber angles are designed into the front axle and cannot be adjusted.

yes they can be adjusted with the proper "C" bushings that you can get just about everywhere

If I remember correctly you cannot adjust caster on a 79 because there is just a kingpin in there. No "C" bushings to my knowledge.

Well I know you can adjust the caster with c-bushings. It has a high pinion 44. But thanks for the info.

Sorry about that, I completely overlooked the 4x4 part and was thinking 2wd.
