THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE DANA AXLES IN WHICH CROSS CASTER ADJUSTMENTS CANNOT BE MADE. I HAVE FOUND THAT ALL ALIGNMENT SHOPS TRY TO ADJUST THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ECCENTRICS IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS, THEREBY TWISTING THE AXLE TO FORCE THE CROSS CASTER ANGLE. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT (SEE HTTP://DODGERAM.ORG/TECH/SPECS/00_STEER_SPECS.HTML) THIS FORCEING OF THE LOWER ECCENTRICS IS NOT THE WAY TO ACHIEVE CROSS CASTER ADJUSTMENTS. THE LOWER ECCENTRICS ARE FOR CASTER ONLY AFTER THE CROSS CASTER IS SET. I RECENTLY FOUND RECALL #861ON THESE AXLES. MINE MISSED IT BY 6 DAYS. I COULD NOT HELP BUT WONDER IF A RUSH TO CORRECT THE SITUATION AND STILL MEET DEMAND MAY HAVE LED TO SOME BEING BUILT OUT OF SPECS. NEVER THE LESS, THIS TWISTING AND FORCEING CANNOT BE GOOD ON THE VERY AREA THAT THE RECALL WAS ABOUT, THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM BRACKET....
