Here is the paperwork my dealer gave me AFTER I had the tierod work done. The Toe is supposed to be set to a total of .10 degree. Factory settings were a lot different. I guess the Dodge engineers realized something was amiss and corrected the specs. This paperwork went along with the tierod replacement service instructions that the service techs use. Hope it helps..... Oh well, the PDf is too big to attach. Please send me your e-mail and I'll be happy to forward. Thx,

Thanks for the info. Had mine done (Ram 1500 2WD) a while ago, but I didn't know about the factory spec change. Wonder if that explains why my front tires are now square??

Probably, My tire guy says the original specs called for a toe of .3, the new recall spec calls for a toe of .1. According to him, that's a significant difference equivalent to a few turns of the tie rod. Those 20" tires are too expensive not to be sure....

Always ask your alignment guy for "Before & After" printouts of your alignments too.
