I got my explorer aligned today after getting my 2 inch coil lift installed. The ford dealer told me they needed to install escentrics to correct my alignment but it turns out my truck already had them but they needed to be freed up cause they were frozen. Has anyone else had these put on their trucks or adjusted after doing this lift? The first place I went to told me I had to heat and bend my axle beams or something so im glad i got a second opinion ! Total cost of my alignment was 141.95 not as bad as i thought ! :D

All TTB's have eccentrics in them. They range from zero degrees to 2 3/4 degrees. Everytime the vehicle alingment falls outside of the specified parameters it is necessary to replace the eccentrics. If the dealer replaced both eccentrics and did the alingment for $142 you got an excellent deal.
