Within Spec?

Hello can any suspension experts please chime in on if these are within spec? Thanks!

Are you trying to determine if your alignment is within Ford's specifications?

Are you having an issue with tire wear? The car pulling to one side or steering seems off?

Went over a big dip and heard a thump on the passenger rear. Got under the car and didn’t see any damage but was wondering if the alignment was slightly off due to the fact.

While those bolts appear to be within their range of adjustment... no telling if the alignment is correct without getting... an alignment.

Those discs and marks are crude settings, like for an initial mock-up. During an alignment, the angles of adjustment are measured in hundredths of a degree of arc.

I'd seen your other thread. Getting an alignment wouldn't hurt, give you piece peace of mind. A Ford dealer with good reviews can hook you up. During the alignment, you can ask them to do a general inspection of wheels, hubs, axles, etc.

Whomever you do take it to, do not taint their thought process by mentioning the bottoming-out. You're an enthusiast who daily drives their car. You want to stay on top of things and confirm everything is wearing well.

When complete, they'll give you a before-and-after printout. That can be your baseline for any future alignments, to see what, if anything changes.

Yes I agree with Skye and Sofa King ^ , get an alignment done. It's worth the cost for piece of mind.

It would be a good time to add negative camber and then take it to the track!!!

...and if you don't track it, don't.
