2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty Wheel Alignment Specifications

Quick reference

Adjustability

Front Axle:

On a 2020 Ford F-350, only front toe is directly adjustable from the factory using the tie rod ends. Front camber and caster are not factory-adjustable. To bring camber or caster into specification, you must install aftermarket eccentric bushings in the upper ball joint location. The factory bushings are fixed and must be pressed out to allow for the installation of adjustable ones.

Rear Axle:

The rear axle on a solid-axle heavy-duty truck like the F-350 is generally not adjustable. Camber and toe are fixed by the axle housing and hub assembly. If rear alignment angles are out of specification, it typically indicates a bent axle housing, a damaged hub/bearing, or frame damage, which are significant issues requiring component replacement, not adjustment.

Recommended adjustment hardware

For front camber and caster adjustments, Specialty Products Company (SPC) 23220 series eccentric bushings are a widely used and effective solution. These allow for up to ±1.5° of camber or caster change, which is typically sufficient to correct any deviations from the preferred specification on a vehicle without collision or suspension damage.

Symptoms of bad alignment

• Feathered tire wear: This is a classic sign of incorrect toe. When you run your hand across the tread, it will feel smooth in one direction and sharp in the other, like the feathers on a bird. This is caused by the tire scuffing sideways as it rolls forward.
• Edge wear (Camber wear): Excessive wear on the extreme inside or outside shoulder of the tire indicates a camber issue. Positive camber wears the outside edge, while negative camber wears the inside edge.
• Vehicle pull: A constant pull to one side while driving on a flat, level road is a primary symptom of misalignment. This can be caused by unequal caster or camber from side to side.
• Off-center steering wheel: If your steering wheel is not centered when driving straight, your toe is almost certainly out of adjustment.

When to align

A wheel alignment should be performed:

• After installing new tires.
• After any suspension or steering component is replaced (e.g., ball joints, tie rod ends, control arms, shocks/struts).
• After a significant impact with a curb, pothole, or other road hazard.
• Anytime you notice the symptoms listed above, such as uneven tire wear or a pull to one side.

Typical alignment cost

For a 2020 Ford F-350, a front-end alignment (which is all that is typically adjustable) will usually cost between $120 and $200. The cost may be higher if aftermarket adjustable bushings need to be installed, as this adds significant labor to the job.
