Alignment issue: cam bolts not the same
I was just crawling under my truck today and noticed the cam bolts on the lower control arms are not adjusted the same. Shouldn't they be? I found alignment specs on dodgeram.org and it said they should be. But I don't know which one is correct and which to adjust. I just had it aligned after the new tires and they obviously didn't do anything with the bolts cause the mud was still caked on from a few weeks ago. Anybody know?
They will not be in the exact same position because your truck does not sit perfectly level. Having your gas tank, driver, and battery on the same side add more weight to the driver side. Your springs can also settle at different rates. In addition to that, an alignment tech will typically adjust caster to be lower on the right to compensate for crowned roads. In reality though that adjustment is very slight and is a poor way to adjust caster.
