Some steering geometry numbers and help please?

Hi ya'll, I remember seeing somewhere around here that it would help to bump the camber up to between 4-5 degrees, and also that a little less toe-in might help too. My truck seems to need a little too much correction going down the road. Seems it should track better; too much wander for me.<br> Some of it could be me getting used to the new truck, but since I got to take it in to be aligned after the ball joint job, I thought I'd tell them where to set it if I can possibly make some changes foor the better.<br> Would appreciate some help on this.<br> Thanks,<br> Rob<br><br>Oh yeah, got my DTR sticker today; hopefully installation won't take all weekend.

Thanks. Looks like I need to talk to the alignment guys some more. I would but they quit taking my calls after I asked them about the worn ball joints I asked them to check and somehow didn't notice they were in various stages of shot. Time for new front end shop.<br><br>Rob
