I just finished aligning my Ranger on the stock camber caster bushings. I was able to get 0 degrees camber on both wheels finally (which is how I wanted to set it), but in doing so, I maxed out the stock camber caster bushing on the passenger side. Which means I don't have any caster, correct? Other than what is built into the axle beam itself, if any? In order to keep 0 degrees of camber the driver side, I had to rotate the bushing such that the ball joint stud was farther back towards the rear of the vehicle, which means I have more positive caster on that side. The toe is set to 1/16" in on both sides, and the truck drives the best it ever has, but there is a slow to moderate drift to the passenger side with no hands on the wheel. Am I correct in assuming this is an effect of the 0 degrees of caster on the passenger side?
I'm assuming my camber bushings are original, and they say 1.30 on them. Does this translate to 1.3 degrees max adjustment?
Not knowing what my stock bushings equate to in terms of degree change, but realizing that my passenger side bushing is maxed out, I'm wondering what degree aftermarket bushing you would recommend to me? I'm looking for the kind that allows independent adjustment of caster vs. camber.
Thanks in advance
