Mopar is generally the only one that sells Mopar, aside from Dodge Dealerships... but sometimes there is an authorized dealer of mopar parts around... if you call up mopar they can usually point you to a local "distributor"...

 

Annnd that distributor is usually a dealership. lol

 

Usually, but sometimes you get lucky and find a performance shop or something that is an authorized dealer...

I know I've gotten lucky once or twice...

 

There's not that much adjustment in the factory cams after a lift. Besides, you want at least a .30 degree negative split(left lower than right) because it compensates for road crown. They have a little too much worked into it right now, but getting both sides equal would cause more problems. And you want the camber as close to 0.0 as possible on a truck, which will minimize pull and steering wander.

 

He has that degree split already and it is not doing too well for him... only other thing I can think of, is that he has a toe in/out problem... it's hard to tell without seeing the truck first hand and taking it through a nice level parking lot to see if it is pulling.

 

No, he's got a .6 degree split, which can cause a pull. Especially if the area he drives in doesnt have very steep road crown. getting it down to a .3 split would probably make a noticeable change, I was just saying you dont want to equalize the caster, that can cause wandering.

If, and thats a big if, thats a decent shop and that alignment printout is true and not BS'd, his toe is fine. At a .03 and .08, its well within specs. Toe is not a pull angle, when you move forward, toe equalizes itself.

I'm still thinking the steering rack is bad. I've had to redo at least 6 installations because the service writers dont listen to me when i tell them the reman units dont hold up.

 

I contacted Rancho to see if they had any recommendations for alignment settings and they basically said they dont have any.

That's just a fancy way of them telling you they have no effin' clue... lol

 

pretty much yeah lol.

At this point, I'd really need to drive the truck to figure it out. All the customer description in the world sometimes isnt enough.

 

Completely agree with you. There are a million and a half things at play with suspension, everything from worn components to incorrect alignment, right through to uneven weight load inside the cabin/bed can cause problems.

Either way I hope this gets sorted out.
