I brought my 2004 Ranger Edge to a shop to get a front end alignment... they said it cannot be done with the way my truck is now because the "cams" in the upper A Arms are fixed and are not adjustable. They said I would've had to purchase a pair of parts for about $60 in order to have an alignment done (additional cost). Any truth to this? I've never heard of it. Thanks

 

just had mine done sat, there is sum adjustment for the camber, not a lot but enough if you cranked ur tb's

 

yep geting mine done friday and yes you will have to buy new cams i had to they should be in tomaorw

 

The factory adjustment is done using interchangeable plates, each with a fixed offset. To readjust it in the field requires that a set of 4 adjustable alignment eccentrics be substituted for the fixed plates.

Yes, the eccentrics cost extra but where you buy them determines how much extra. I got mine from a local parts store at about half of what you were quoted. I pulled the pivot bolts and installed them myself before taking it into the Ford dealer for an alignment.

 

Okay thanks for the input

 

Yeah, it's worth the extra bucks to get a caster/camber kit. It'll save you if you crank your t-bars or get larger tires down the road.
