Missing Alignment Dowel Pin - kw suspension steering alignment adjust arm bracket control guide wheel tire rod front end

When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.

We have several field reports relative to full size trucks arriving without the upper control arm bracket alignment pin (Strux pin). This pin serves as a pilot for the proper adjustment of the cam for the front caster and camber adjustment.

When the pin is missing, a 1/4 inch dowel rod or a punch tool can be utilized as a temporary alignment aid to properly center the cam to the bracket while adjusting and torquing the D-bolt.
