Hello all,
So let me first say I love my Ram and never had an issue with the Alignment, and it just felt right when I drove it alone or towed with it. This winter I noticed some outer wear on my front tires and upon checking I had ball joints that were becoming bad. I brought into a shop, and he replaced both sides upper and lower with Moog's. Well from that day on I drove it a short distance back and forth to the Campground as I Snowbird and usually don't go far when I'm at a all-inclusive resort that has a lot of everything, so I really didn't drive it a lot. Well, when it was time to head home, once I got on the freeway, I noticed my steering was so different. Almost like it was loose and I was working it more keeping in between the lines. Once I got back home I called the shop and wanted to know what he did to it. To my surprise the shop got new owners but was able to look at my records and Owner told me he didnt have a printout of what it was before and after because the previose owner had a broken printer but did tell me the past owner put in offset uppers and fixed lowers (all Moogs), and proceeded to tell me the parts are good for 1 year incase something was wrong with the parts the previous owner installed. So i brought it in for a alignment check up north and discovered my alighnemt was horrible. When I proceeded to ask about my camber the Tech told me there none adjustable according to the manufacture. When I told him what happened and what they told me, it then clicked to him why my Camber is so far off. According to Ram camber stationary should be at .05, which mine is way out.
I'm guessing the Owner installed them wrong, don't even know why he installed offsets uppers, all I know it drive horrible and feels horrible when I'm towing. I also guessing once I connect my fifth wheel my Camber gets even worse if I'm correct due to the weight if I'm correct. Can I get some help or opinions on this please. Below are the specs of the alignment that was done a few days ago.
