- 1994, Explorer XLT 2WD
My Explorer is a '94 XLT, 4-Door, 2WD all stock and I just rebuilt my entire front-end, all new bushings, ball joints, tie-rod ends etc, etc. Since I am aware that the TIB front suspension is tricky for alignment shops since most tech's don't really know how to handle them. What I would like if available are the factory specs if someone has access to them.
The specs I have found so far are as follows;
CAMBER: min. -0.25*, prefered. 0.25*, max. 0.75*
CASTER: min. 2*, max. 7*
TOE: min. -0.19*, prefered. 0.06*, max. 0.31*
TOE inches: min. -0.09, prefered. 0.03, max. 0.15
*=degrees
I have been having a very difficult time getting the alignment right and have been to two different shops with little improvement. Oddly, they don't seem to believe that there are camber/caster eccentrics located on top of the upper ball joints, kind of scary actually. Any help would be appreciated, thanks...
