They dont.. the leaf sprung ttb has got to be the biggest piece of junk front end just as bad as the Chevy ifs on a one ton doing a straight axle conversion isnt that hard just need the straight axle and depending if u go dana 60 or dana 44 u need to shorten ur drive shaft you also need the steering linkage but then again he never said if it was a 4x or not could just be worn out alignment cams or then again a worn out coils springs if its 2x

All those IFS front suspensions do that real bad when you back up however if it still looks like that when parked after going in the forward motion then yer spring are weak and allowing things to sag


been there done that......solution is to get out when the gettin is good.....thats what I did

I'm having the same problem with a 1987 F250 6.9 ltr 4x4 TTD w/ Leaf Springs. If I jack up the front end, everything straightens out. Back up approximately 15 feet and the passenger side tilts in (negative camber). Wheel bearings are new on both sides. Looks like there may be some movement at the rubber bushing under the alignment cam on the passenger side. When giving the wheel a good boot and wiggle, I do not detect any sloppy components. Finances necessitate repair over replacement. Therefore, 'get rid of it' comments will not be helpful, thanks. Any recommendations?

I'd recomend starting a thread over posting in a 6 year old one, but since were past that point jack it up and using a long prybar check for play in all frontend components, if you don't find anything loose head to the alingment shop. :c:
