Caster camber bushings - how they are installed, how they work
This video shows caster camber bushings on a Ford E150 van. I explain how they were installed and how they work. I was trying to get maximum caster, so I oriented the cut in the bushings facing toward the rear of the vehicle per the instructions. According to the instructions, this would result in 3 1/4 degrees of caster and zero degrees of camber. Note that not all brands of bushings are designed the same way, so follow the instructions that come with them. The cut in the bushing may be in a different place relative to the large and small parts of the bushing. These are Moog bushings that I ordered from Amazon. The instructions that came with them are short but easy to understand. You ...

    They quoted me $1,200 to install after market caster shims for a lift kit. 😅

    This is a super helpful video. Like you said, there aren’t many videos out there with helpful info on these components. I just lowered a vehicle for the first time and need to fix the camber of my front end. Now I have a better understanding of what I need to do.

    Hi, thank you for your video, it was insightful for me. I have F350 2015 2WD. Just want to know if this will fit? I did a minimum lift and the top of the tire tilted outward. Do you think this will fix it. Looking forward for your feedback. Hence, the twin Ibeams are the same as the E series

    What Moog Caster/Camber bushing part numbers did you buy?

    Did you upgrade radius bearing arms and bushings? Major issue with E350s.

    Right on. Good video. Im doing a 2'' lift on mine and throwing in the the adjustable ones up to 4 degree. I'll go max caster and bring it in for the camber. Im +3-4 camber by eyeball after 2" spacer. Probably ends up minimal caster all camber for me.

    Does lower ball joint also have an adjustment sleeve?

    I HAVE A 98 E-350 rv AND WHEN A MOTORCYCLE passes me the wind pushes me to the right. I got so used to driving the RV getting pushed around that I played a game guessing the size of the vehicle coming up passing me on my left. I could literally feel the air movement coming ahead the the passing vehicle push my 30'RV before i could even see the vehicle through my window. It's kind like how flies know they are about to get swatted...feeling that air flow before the squish...anyways I digress. I found a pair of bushings that advertised 4 degrees (max available) caster. I'm guessing the overall caster angle ends up being more than the angle stamped on the bushing? I wonder how my 4 degree bushings will end up in total degrees. Do you know by any chance how the off-road place measured your overall rake and ended up with 7 degrees?...Hopefully they will make a difference. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Can you provide the part number, I have the same problem with my E350, thinking about giving this a try, thanks

    I’m very happy with the results. I recently drove the E150 on an 8300 mile trip and was able to cruise at at 70-75 mph on the Interstate highways. I had replaced essentially all of the front end suspension components, added a steering stabilizer, and the caster camber bushings were the last thing I did. They helped a lot. As I said in the video, I then took it to a 4 Wheel drive shop for an alignment. The guy said that the way I had oriented the caster camber bushings was perfect. I just followed the instructions that came with the bushings and went for maximum positive caster. His print out showed that I now have about 7° of positive caster on each side and about 0° of camber. It drives really nice. The Moog caster camber bushings were inexpensive on Amazon, so it’s a pretty affordable way to improve the handling of an E-series/econoline van.

    Is your van lifted?

    • @jwerner3903
      @jwerner3903 Год назад

      No it’s pretty much stock height. I replace the front and rear springs with heavy duty ones because it leaned a lot around corners. It’s a little higher in the back than I would like but I can live with it.
