Steering Problem on 2000 Expedition
My 2000 Expedition wants to pull to the left on the highway. I’ve had the tires changed and alignment checked but the problem persists. It seems that the “zero” setting (the position that doesn’t require any effort to hold the wheel) is set to go left. On a trip I’m worn out by having to “fight” the wheel to keep the vehicle in the road. Any had this problem?

Steering Problem on 2000 Expedition
Yes, On my 97' had the problem,
Camber is the word that you want here, now I will tell you how to make the alignment shop feel stupid. The side of the vehicle that has to much negative camber is the problem to look at. Now I am talking the front two wheels. Here we go, Get a carpenters level about a foot long, place it on the side wheel towards the bead of the tirebut on the face of the wheel, look at the bubble and it should be very close to in the center of the lines, if the bubble is on the outside of the line towards you, this is negative camber, if the bubble is on the wheel side of the line this is positive camber.
INFORMATION... Camber for a 2000 4x4 exp. is .02 degrees plus or minus .7 degrees. Now I am going to tell you that both left and right wheels should have the bubbles in between the two line to stay on the road. Have a Great New Year. Electric1
