I understand your point, but these large fleet customers need their vehicles badly. I know of one large fleet that buys 200 Ford trucks every month and have done this for a long, long time - due to supply chain and pandemic, Ford had been allocating them only 14 per month even as late as January...
Curious what you think of the springs once installed - Iām enjoying having the extra clearance. The ride with the new springs and larger tires makes it feel and ride like a mini F150 instead of a car and I love it.
No argument on that - what I was trying to get across is that you CAN install them as a locking tab washer (in blue) hooked over the edge of the lower strut mount To keep them from rotating once torqued. Especially when sitting there wondering where your instructions are.
Tab angled away from strut meaning āsticking outā. You can also install it angled in almost like a locking washer. If you get what Iām getting at - but once you see the instructions it pretty freaking clear.
Thanks again for that link.
Now itās simple - exactly what Iāve been searching for!
Thanks much for linking install instructions @NoVaJimmy
If link is dead down the road:
-Upper bolt hole
-Tabbed washer at the bolt head
-Tab angled away from strut and 180° from cam lobe
I saw a couple of root beer brown XLās near you OP over in Plainville/New Britain. Not certain if they were fleet ordered or wrapped for the construction company that owns them.
Not sure why photos are needed MavMan?
Just hoping to confirm in which order and location these camber adjusting bolts get installed. Seems really straight forward except that they fit in both locations and can go together in either order and orientation.
Ford does not make these fwiw and compared to drop in bed liners I have owned and seen over the decades I am really impressed with the fit and design of this mutli-piece liner for the Maverick.
So, the adjustable camber bolts you can get for the front strutsā¦of which mine had no instructions included and I have never used these before.
Do you install the cam bolt in the upper or lower mounting hole on the strut on these trucks?
Do you install the tab washer at the bolt head or next...
I cut my own out and they came out great - drilled holes at the corners of the cut outs, ran a tape line strait edge as a guide at the outside edges of the drilled holes and used a cut off wheel. I did hit the cut edges with a heat gun to take away the sharp look and feel of the edges. Almost...
Best thing I have added is the Progress rear sway bar. I havenāt felt the need for the firmest setting yet, but will try it once the warm weather comes.
Low to mid $30k range with paddle shift 8 speed / 2.0t / 3.81 diffs with suspension, wheel & tire, appearance and interior upgrades would likely sell pretty well. More power would be wild, but Iād be pretty shocked.
