does anyone know the alignment specs for a 2000 L?
Thanks

-Mike

 

I got the alignment specs for my '99 from SVT.

1-800-SVT-FORD

Later,

 

I've got the specs printed off at home. I'll have a look for them and post the numbers. I have the stock, preferred and autocross specs. I pulled it off of a thread here some time ago. It's probably around page 75 by now!

 

Printout sitting on my desk.

Lightning Spec:

LH Caster: 6.9, +/- 1.0 deg
RH Caster: 7.4 +/- 1.0 deg
LH Camber: -0.5, +/- .7 deg
RH Camber: -0.5, +/- .7 deg
LH Toe: -0.05, +/- 0.15 deg
RH Toe: -0.05, +/- 0.15 deg

Lightning Preferred:

LH Caster: 6.7
RH Caster: 7.2
LH Camber: -0.5
RH Camber: -0.5
LH Toe: -0.05 (slight toe in)
RH Toe: -0.05 (same)

 

Search engine, search engine, my kingdom to have the search engine working again!

Look here:

This info needs to be added to the FAQ!

 

I don't know a lot about alighnments, so I figured this is the place to ask. Do I need to use different specs for a lowered Lightning than the ones posted above? I would think there is no difference,b ut I want to make sure. Thanks.

 

thanks guys! Now I can take it back to the shop and have them align it right (instead of for a regular F150).

 

Bob,

where did the "Lightning preferred" specs come from?
thanks, JR

 

JR,

Not sure who created the preferred specs but they've been in my "L tech" folder for at least a year and a half.

Has anybody used these "Preferred Lightning" specs on their truck, and how did it drive? Was the steering wheel centered like it's supposed to be?

I lowered mine 2" front and rear. Are these specs intended for a L that's lowered? Just making sure.

 

Had mine alligned to "Lightning Preferred' last year to try and fix the tendency to wander in the ruts created by the HEAVY trucks here in Michigan. 164,000 pound gravel trains and steel haulers make deep 'channels', typically in the right lane of asphalt paved roads. My truck would wander so much it would take all my attention to keep it in the lane. Works good now.

BTW - Herb just e-mailed me that he has a new supply of lower control arm washers machined. Checks in the mail.
