I have a 4WD 3500 DRW that was showing considerable outside front tire wear. Took in for alignment check and was told front ball joints needed replacing which they said was causing wear and "chopping" tire wear pattern on front tires. Had ball joints replaced and alignment done at an alignment only shop they recommended. Told them I wanted it set to Thuren specs based on everything I read in the forums. He agreed with zero toe and seemed to be knowledgeable with the issue. I told him what the caster should be set to and he said castor and camber really aren't adjustable and blew it off a bit. When done he said toe is zeroed out and left caster was 5.5 and right 5.75. I told him again that was above the Thuren specs. He said it was fine at that setting and didn't seem interested in adjusting it lower. So, long story, but is that high of a caster ok? I tow a 20k 5th wheel primarily with it. Thanks for input.
