so i think i own 2 of 3 prerunners in Kansas... maybe.... probably.. and the only reason its 2 of 3 is i have seen a white 1999 f150 prerunner, running around.

this will be my daily driver taking me from $100/week for my 150 mile weekly commute, to substantially better than that. these trucks are suppose to average 17/gal as opposed to my 6-8/gal i get with the 460.

its a 2000 f150 v6 5 spd w/ 72k miles on it 2.0/12" King coilovers, fabtech A-arm kit((?) (don't know much about these trucks)) fiberglass, no idea whose though. got it for pretty cheap. runs really good, needs a lot of front end work, dash, bumpers, and just a general rust cleaning, and some spray paint.

anybody know why this is doing this. :evil: i worked all day on aligning this truck and got it fairly right, but now when the truck is aligned the tire is kicking in when i turn. let me add though that the caster was set so that the top of the tire was pointing inward (positive camber)which now i am assuming, was that it wouldn't hit the upper a-arm.

this is the truck sitting straight. although the picture makes it look toe'd out really bad, but it isn't.

what could this be.... took it by the firestone on the corner and the alignment guy said it probablly wasn't an issue with that.

That looks like a geometry issue to me.
