Alignment numbers

Not sure how to read these, can anyone give me some feedback? This was after the leveling kit and wheel spacers. Truck and steering wheel are perfectly straight.

Is this pre or post alignment? Only thing off is the passenger front camber. If it's post alignment, it's possible they weren't able to get any more adjustment out of the control arms.

This is post alignment. Honestly I trust the guy who did it, he definitely knows what he's doing. Only reason I'm asking is I can help but feel like the bottom of the tires look toed in when looking head on. But for some reason I vaguely remember thinking that before the level.

It's likely just the truck's body lines making the wheels look off square. I did my own alignment. Took the measurements myself, and every time I look at the front of the truck I swear the camber is off. When i check it, it's right where I set it.

If that is post alignment, you got something off on the 1.2 degree positive camber side, assuming passenger front. Any accidents or hard curb jumps on that side in the past?

Ok that's definitely a relief, thanks! Makes me feel much better.

That passenger side camber is concerning.

Nope, I put the level on with less than 1k miles on the truck.

Hmm, check your ride height on all four corners. If it's close, then I'd get a second opinion on that alignment.

You could always take pictures of both alignment cams on the left and right side of the truck, lower a-arm frame attachment points, and we can see if one is way different than the other.

Hi Anthony,

Any reason why there are no caster numbers? Camber is out of spec and needs correction in my opinion. I would be concerned with possible caster split too as it will create a pull to one side or the other.... Toe is fine...

Thanks Phil. I'm think I might take it back in for a second look. Truckbis dead straight, no pulling at all.

Hi Anthony,

Tracking straight is a good thing and likely indicates minimal Caster split...

Study these every day. That’s odd to have that much positive camber on RF and also no caster readings? Was camber maxed? I’ll say the this. Spec for Rangers has left or right hand pull in the numbers to drive straight. Can’t remember which way. Which isn’t unheard of on some vehicles. I’ll shoot you the specs from my truck when I get back from vacation and get back to work.

My opinion: all he did was set the toe and sent you down the road. Our shop would never send one out like that without a quote for a camber kit (if it’s maxed out)
