Try doing a front end alignment yourself, talk about a PITA - It took me 3 fricken days to get it right!! Then I still had someone tweak it a little after wards.
It wouldn't take to a computer alignment, not sure why, everythings tight. I got her though,- old style lol.

Like I said, it wouldn't take to a computer alignment. I paid yea $65 twice and one tried again free, but they couldn't get it. The first time they said it was my Bilsteins (to short), that they were bent. They were replaced w/Monroe's. Bilstein sent me new front shocks, - installed them about a month ago. The last alignment with the Monroe's was short lived, -I didn't realize this until it smoked my tires before the next rotation, yea fairly new tires (18,000 miles), trashed! The alignment is a exacting process and hard to tell when it's off enough to cause problems with wear. I didn't check it after the Monroe's were installed at the their shop, - I just went with it. I should have checked their work, but I hate doing that and it's a PITA to do. It looked good tho, at first.
I did figure out the problem, - NEVER max out your torsion bars on the 97 and 98 model years (these models have beastly bars, longer than 99+ model years). You can crank them up EVENLY, but back them off from max atleast 1.5 turns or she won't dial in and stay there. So far so good.
i drove mine for about a year and a half with my driverside tire leaning like this /
good ole michelin didnt even wear that much
i never knew about it till i was at the college and decided to check to see my alignment was off and the instructor was like holy ****! look at that tire. i was like dam! and its still not right, we couldnt pull it out any more so we just left it like it is, still a little off because it pulls to the right a tad when i let go of the wheel.
i think im gonna try to spend the 65 at the tire shop i usta work for that aughta be nice. "ha lets see how bad we can screw ty's truck up!"
I put my right thigh against the fender and reach with my right hand, unplug the heater, break it free, rarely will I use a filter wrench, when I do its usually a filter strap and a long extention 1/2' ratchet. Walk it off with you fingers, keeping your index under the filter, walking it with my thumb and other fingers, drop it, pull it up.
remove pet**** assemlby, install on new, and reverse for install

Yea, that's your Camber Castor adjustment. You had a positive Camber. Ford has notches on the frame (if you can find them lol) for CC adjustments, - .03 degrees per notch, -if its out .09 degrees
