Thank you for sharing it Dan. I really like how you explain it. Hope you will share more videos in the future about the alignments and code links. I’m following you now. Keep up the great work.
I will make it a point to start doing more videos I got real lazy the past year and a half
Check out thuren fabs alignment specs
Thanks for the video Dan. Question for you. My 2016 ram 2500 has a very bad death wobble. I just recently had the tie rod, drag link and track bar replaced (heim joints). After replacing these parts it still has death wobble, what should my caster and toe be at ? Or what else can I look into. Thank you
I don't know the exact measurements off hand but caster should be maxed out as far positive as you can get it 5 degrees and toe you want to see slightly set inwards to eachother...I've also seen out of balance tires cause death wobble. I'd also double check your trac bar has no play as well
thanks man its helped me do my own alignment
I have a question if you don't mind. Can that tie rod coupling be adjusted while the vehicle is on the ground or is there too much pressure from the weight of the truck? Thank you, mine is a 2014 same steering components.
it can be adjusted on the ground however you will be fighting friction with the tires on the ground...
@@danthetech6831 Thank you for the quick response. Your work is inspiring and you explain things very well. I installed a 2" Thuren lift kit, thuren track bar and fox shocks kit in my 2014 2500 that has the Cummins. It has a slight pull to the right and I did try a little cross caster and it made no difference. It has about 4.5 degrees of positive caster. I'm suspecting that even though it's said that the drag link adjustment to center the steering wheel doesn't effect toe, I think that it may have added a little toe out to the passenger's side front tire. I'm a DIY type since a kid and try to do everything I can myself.
it could also be a radial pull meaning the tire try swapping front tires side to side and see if the pull changes
@@danthetech6831 Thanks again I appreciate it.
Hello again, I did try swapping out the tires and it has the same pull to the right. Wish I was closer to your shop to bring it there, but I'm 2 states over. Before I lifted it, it had no pull at all and I'm the original owner with 49k miles on it. There's a lot of "chain" stores around here for tire/alignments and the staff is questionable. I have that weird feeling if I bring it somewhere, it will end up being worse than before lol.
Great video and great job and Info!!!💯👍
dude. i just had my 3500 alignment twice and it's still dragging to the right, i just had a new synergy drag link and tie rods installed what the hick is wrong??
you may need an adjustable upper balljoint on the right side if you have camber issue, or it could be a radial pull meaning it's the tire try swapping the front tires side to side and see if the pull changes
@@danthetech6831 I'm never buying adjustable balljoints ever again lol, they're a nightmare. I'll try the wheel swap first, of it doesn't get better am taking the synergy system and put the stock back 😂 that's how much i hate adjustable balljoints lol
I can completely understand your hate for adjustable balljoints. I am not a fan of them either but they do save a ton of money to fix camber without buying a while new housing
@@danthetech6831 yeah they're a lot to handle. GUESS WHAT??! aa ibwas swapping the front tires, one tire was wavy AF!! i put the spare tire on and voala the truck drove straight, the only issue now is that toe is straight too and the truck keeps swaying, i have to set the toe little inwards. thank you for ur advice🙏 i don't know how i didn't check the tires before, guess coz they're relatively new
Sometimes we look past the simple part of a problem because we take the small stuff for granted...Im glad I was able to help
Hey dude is there any ways to fix negative camber on passenger steer tire in the same truck 2016?
there is an adjustable ball joint.for the upper ball joint to adjust camber but you have to specify you want an adjustable ball joint
@@danthetech6831 I have a 2016 Dodge Ram 3500 Dooley cab and chassis should I install the adjustable ball joints on my truck as well? I don’t have no Lyft my truck is stock but my front alignment is garbage!! Thanks
@@Theferg1 the adjustable ball joints are a good upgrade so you can easily fix any camber issues being you have a full floating front axle
Somebody spent a lot of money and didn’t even get a real adjustable track bar with hiem joints and jam nuts
it's frustrating as a tech to see missing components
@@danthetech6831 I bet so man. But you sure talked about everything in this video! I have my camper set at 5 degrees even with a 2” lift and toe at 0 degrees.
If you have any questions feel free
The track bar drop bracket puts your factory track bar where it needs to be
Hey Dan I did a leveling kit and my steering wheel was at 45 degrees when tracking straight. I went to adjust it (everything is stock, leveling kit was a block above the shocks). and my driver tire is toe out when my passenger is straight and both adjustment points are all the way in. Any ideas?
something is drastically off, can u post some pics
So my search is proven....on a dodge 2500 or 3500 4x4, you just did a toe adjustment. Un Adjustable camber, and minimal caster adjustment (only caster adjustment for both sides same amount regardless of differences from side to side that might be necessary). How much for a toe in on a dodge 4x4 since that's all that can be adjusted? Gotta be inexpensive since that's all you can do!
thrust angle alignment is 79.99 at my shop a 4 wheel alignment is 99.99
On another note if you have adjustable upper balljoints then camber can be adjusted and that would still be considered a thrust angle alignment and the same price even with adjusting the upper ball joint to correct any camber problems
Thanks Dan! Fun video!
I'm gonna start putting something together soon for another video not sure what
