And you said to order 2 boxes? or does it come with 2 in one box?

Correct. You need four cam assemblies total (each lower control arm has two chassis mounting points, one front and one back) and two assemblies come in each box so you need two boxes.

Did you happen to get a print off of your specs after the alignment from the tech? Also are you on the stock perch or? With the specs above and a rotation here and there you should not get abnormal tire wear.



Middle perch

I had a print off lol prob in the black hole under the arm rest ????

Thanks for the video. Pretty straight forward. I called the shop where I had the cam kit installed and asked why they only installed the kit on the front portion of the A- arm. They said they only need to adjust the front to get it within spec for the alignment.

I would think that both front and back would need to be adjusted to do it right.

Here are my current settings:

Is there any reason on the third perch, w cam kits, that a shop shouldn't be able to align it?

I have taken it to three places. The first one just took my money and I don't think did a damn thing. The second place didn't wanna do it because the entire truck was a lil lower on the driver side (diff post others have it and is within Fords spec so not an issue, other than pissing me off after I noticed it). The third place couldn't do it without the cam kit. Installed it and aligned it, but they couldn't get it just right. I really started thinking that even with the cam kit it couldn't happen.

So I'm still having a issue with my 2012 SCrew alignment, I have taken it to the dealer twice and both times they have set it to within specs. I have cupping on the outside edge and always have the steering wheel cranked to the left because of the road crown, its like there is no on center feel at all almost play in the steering. I drove my Brothers 2010 Raptor Scab and it is perfect with nice on center feel and tight, and he beats the hell out of his truck. I haven't even taken the truck off road yet, I'm having enough alignment problems just driving back and forth to work, any one have any recommendation's on this issue?
