MOOG Alignment Caster & Camber Kit for 1998-2011 Ford Ranger — Adjustable Cam Bolts, Shims & Replaceable Bushings

MOOG K80065 is an adjustable caster and camber alignment kit designed to restore factory alignment specs and correct wear-related steering issues on 1998–2011 Ford Ranger trucks.

This MOOG alignment caster/camber kit replaces fixed or worn front suspension components with adjustable shims, cam bolts and replaceable bushings so you can dial in correct caster, camber and toe where the original geometry no longer allows adjustment. Built to MOOG Problem Solver standards, the kit is engineered to provide durable steering response and longer service life while simplifying installation for professional shops and DIY mechanics alike.

How does this kit restore proper wheel alignment?

The kit supplies adjustable cam bolts, shims and bushings that permit precise changes to caster, camber and toe, allowing front wheels to be returned to factory specifications even when the original mount points are worn or non-adjustable. By correcting the suspension geometry, the kit reduces uneven tire wear and improves straight-line tracking.

• Includes cam bolts and shims to change camber and caster angles.
• Replaceable bushings restore correct pivot clearances.
• Enables alignment shops to achieve factory specs on non-adjustable assemblies.
• Helps eliminate symptoms like pull or off-center steering.

What vehicles and model years does the K80065 fit?

This MOOG kit fits a range of mid/late-90s to early-2010s Ford and related trucks—most notably 1998–2011 Ford Ranger models—as well as certain Explorer, Mountaineer and Mazda B-series applications. Always confirm fitment by entering full vehicle details before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your trim and suspension variant.

• Primary fit: 1998–2011 Ford Ranger models.
• Also covers select Ford Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac and Mercury Mountaineer years.
• Compatible with Mazda B2300/B2500/B3000/B4000 model years listed.
• Check fitment tool or notes for vehicle-specific qualifiers.

How will installing this kit affect ride quality and tire life?

By returning caster and camber angles to specification, the kit helps tires wear more evenly and improves steering predictability without altering spring or damping rates. Expect better straight-line tracking and reduced feathering or edge wear when alignments are set correctly after installation.

• Promotes even tire wear and extends tire life.
• Improves directional stability and steering feel.
• Does not change ride height or suspension stiffness.
• Works best when followed by a professional alignment check.

How difficult is the installation and what tools are needed?

Installation difficulty ranges from moderate to professional depending on rust, fastener condition and shop equipment—some owners can install the kit at home with basic tools, but alignment finalization requires an alignment machine. MOOG parts are designed for straightforward fit and long service life, but seized bolts or corroded components can add time.

• Typical tools: sockets, torque wrench, pry bars and penetrating oil.
• An alignment rack is required to set final caster/camber/toe precisely.
• Replace corroded fasteners and inspect surrounding control-arm hardware.
• Follow vehicle service manual torque specs when tightening.

Who this is for: MOOG K80065 is aimed at technicians, restoration projects and vehicle owners who need to correct front-end geometry on compatible Ford Ranger and related trucks. It’s particularly useful when original mounting points or non-adjustable components prevent a shop from reaching factory alignment specs, or when uneven tire wear and steering issues indicate worn front suspension interfaces.
