F-350 Wander issue
99.999999% of alignment shops will not do a damn thing to correct this because either because it requires replacing a hard part (the alignment bushing the upper ball joint shaft goes through). This bushing is often a pain in the azz to remove .Think about it, if you charge say a flat $150 for an alignment, but your tech has to spend three hours heating and beating out rusted in alignment bushing , (and BTW, the tool required to remove this cost about $500 too), are you really making money off that alignment?.
Here's a link a Rock Auto link to the various replacement alignment bushings I'm talking about.

And here's a Summit Racing link to the special tool needed to remove the alignment bushing if you want to replace it without removing the knuckle from the ball joints.

I've had a lot of relatively experienced gear head type guys tell me the caster angle is not adjustable on solid front axle rigs (and you're likely to see / read that same misinformation on the internet as well). Caster is 100% adjustable , even on stock suspension rigs, it just requires more work than the quickie alignment shop is willing to do (and virtually no alignment shop stocks the replacement bushings either).
