Chamber/Caster Bolt Kit Also on Suspension
 
I just got new 285/70/17 BF A/T, when my front alignment was completed they said they could not adjust the front perfect unless I bought an optional Chamber/Caster Bolt Kit.

Anyone know what this is for? Why Ford did not install these originally?

Thanks
Chris

The camber kits are available at auto parts stores like NAPA. I think they are around $40 or so. Why Ford didn't install them is a good question.:confused:

Do you know what they are for :confused:

Uhh, to adjust the caster and chamber of the front wheels?!

When Ford builds the truck they install fixed alignment shims. The C/C kit allows mechanics to move the upper A arm around to align the wheel.

Instructions
 
Can someone be so kind as to post instructions for installing these bolts on a 03 F150 4x4. The local shop wanted $292 to do it and I bought the kit for $55. I figure I can muddle my way through it or talk to you experts to do it the right way first. Any help you give is already appreciated.

Ps. The kit contains 4 bolts (one flat side) 8 small washers (round middles) and 8 large washers (shape of bolt- or the shape of a D) in them.
