Dashed hopes...

So after over an hour of trying to get those bolts to move, I managed to move both of them VERY slightly. The Driver's side I can actually move back much further if I wanted to, but because I could barely get the passenger side to budge I didn't move the driver's side any further. The pictures...

Also, I forgot to mention a more qualitative symptom, when driving I do usually feel a pretty strong pull to the right at the steering wheel. After the last alignment of course. I'll go ahead and adjust the caster as you recommended first. I do have a stupid question for clarity however, to...

I completely agree that I should not be adjusting this screw, and that I should stay within the pre-load/mesh load torque totals in the factory manual (and adjusting it on a bench top instead of the truck), BUT that was literally the last recommendation that I received directly from Borgeson, as...

What brand did you end up replacing your ball joints with?

I was worried about the quality of the ball joints, and being susceptible to that problem. Unfortunately, when I replaced the driver's side outer tie rod in January, the knuckle moved pretty freely even with the wheel off. I didn't notice any binding throughout it's range of motion. Granted I...

The caster adjustment was too difficult to manage in the driveway, I can't seem to get the bolt to move with the truck on the ground (unless I'm doing something incorrectly, I didn't read much into adjusting the caster before attempting to do so), so I'm taking it to a lift tomorrow morning. I...

Unfortunately they were Duralast brand ball joints, I believe they were the higher quality type though (both have greasable fittings).

Haha, well thank you! It's been just the biggest frustration, and I've tried to attack the problem with everything I could. I've attached a reply with images of my current caster positions. I'll have to give that a try, moving both sides to the most forward notch. Also, how concerned do you...

The Ball Joints were replaced with Duralast brand, they don't seem to have gone bad yet.

Give me a moment to respond individually, but in the mean time I attached pictures of the current castor positions (Labeled Driver's and Passenger's Side).

NOTE: The majority of this first post consists of the email I sent to the technical reps at Geno's Garage, as well as Borgeson. They've offered as much assistance as they can, which I am very thankful for, but I still have not been able to resolve the problem. So I have a little bit of a...
