F-Super Duty vehicle caster and camber correction requirements are factory determined. Adjusters are available to correct a caster/camber measurement that does not meet specification. Before changing the production caster/camber adjuster, thoroughly inspect the suspension system to locate worn or damaged components that may have caused the setting to change.
