Alignment printout help

[swshawaii]

Thanks for the info
Next set of tires ill buy the cam bolts
I'd like to find some of oem quality

Take a look at the Moog K8674 cam washers. If you're close to stock ride height, 1.75 degrees of adjustment should be more than enough to get into spec.

Some of you may recall a problem I had with an alignment shop installing camber/caster adjusting bolts and plates on my daughter's 2000 Mountaineer about a year ago. The issue was that the plates kept moving and throwing her alignment out. I had the original alignment shop re-adjust and...

Ford # W705040-5900 cam washers and N805480-5427 nuts (if needed). May be difficult to find new old stock (NOS).

Take a look a the Moog K8674 cam washers. IIRC, Ford had them available a while back. I'll search for a part number and NOS.

If anyone discovers any differences in any of the various camber washer kits, let me know. Only the first installation I did on my 98 Mountaineer, accomplished my goals. The last three with camber washers and bolts would not adjust enough to lower the truck sufficiently. My 98 MM can go much lower than the others, I'd guess it has almost 3" more inches possible, than the others.

Ok y'all she burnt off a set of tires lol
I was told to install cam plates last alignment ....for a Ridiculous price ...
Got to looking in my manual and found that you can use the factory cam bolts
Remove the square plate and install a cam plate don't even have to remove the bolt
So this morning I installed them in all four upper control arm bolts easy
Had the new tires and a alignment works a treat thought I'd pass this along


Cams I used are exactly the same shape as the factory bolt

I purchase my set from rockauto. You get the plates and new bolt.

The factory cam plates have slightly different hole locations, the range of motion is less. I've bought five or six cam bolt sets, looking for one that might have a little more adjustment. That one linked to their looks the same as the others, but it's very hard to compare then until you have two side by side, and lay them on top of each other.

No bolt that's the point
Just remove the factory square cam and swap it with this 1 that's it
Leave the factory bolt in place
Remember this is for factory ride height higher or lower and you will need different cams with the bolts

If you live in a rust belt state you need a new bolt

That's a decent picture of the UCA and mounting. The OEM adjustment is slightly different with its bolt and camber washer. The main aftermarket type use a special bolt and matching camber washer that can't interchange with the factory bolt. I thin you found the kit which is just to replace the OEM camber washers, and I've had those in hand too, I didn't use them since they had less adjustment.

For a new stock height, any camber washer kit will work well to help the alignment get done easier. I like the stock bolts better for sure, Ford uses the best bolt quality, the replacement stuff is usually questionable. A shiny grade five bolt is very unimpressive to me. They are pretty but they bend easily.
