MOOG Alignment Caster & Camber Kit for 1998-2011 Ford Ranger — K80065 with Adjustable Cam Bolts & Upgraded Bushings

The MOOG K80065 is a complete caster and camber alignment kit engineered to restore proper wheel alignment on 1998–2011 Ford Ranger and compatible trucks.

This alignment kit combines adjustable cam bolts, shims and upgraded bushings to allow precise camber, caster and toe corrections on vehicles that otherwise have limited or non-adjustable factory alignment settings. MOOG designs these components to match OE fitment and provide durable steering geometry control so tires wear more evenly and handling feels more predictable after installation.

How does the K80065 kit restore factory alignment on non-adjustable suspensions?

The kit provides mechanical adjustments where the factory may rely on tolerances or non-adjustable components. By replacing worn parts and adding adjustable elements, you can return suspension geometry to factory specs or fine-tune it for improved tire life and steering response.

• Cam bolts allow lateral movement of the control arm for caster/camber correction.
• Shims and precision bushings offer incremental alignment changes.
• Adjustable ball joints substitute for fixed-angle originals when needed.

What vehicle models and years does this MOOG kit fit?

This MOOG kit is engineered for a range of Ford Rangers and several related truck and SUV models across late 1990s to 2010s vintages. Always verify fitment with your vehicle year, make, model and trim to ensure correct application before ordering.

• 1998–2011 Ford Ranger (primary fitment).
• 1995–2001 Ford Explorer families, 1997–2001 Mercury Mountaineer.
• Multiple Mazda B-series trucks from 2001–2010 where chassis shared components.

What improvements can I expect after installing this alignment kit?

After installation you should notice reduced uneven tire wear, more stable steering return-to-center and the ability to set caster and camber within tighter tolerances. These benefits come from replacing worn suspension parts and adding adjustable elements that control wheel angles precisely.

• Less feathering and cupping on tires, extending tread life.
• Improved directional stability at highway speeds.
• Easier, more repeatable wheel alignment at the shop.

How difficult is installation and what should technicians check during alignment?

Installation is a moderate shop-level job that requires basic suspension tools, torque equipment and a proper alignment machine to finalize settings. Technicians should replace worn hardware, torque fasteners to MOOG/vehicle specs, and verify caster, camber and toe after the vehicle is on alignment racks.

• Inspect control arm mounting points for rust or damage before fitting.
• Use the supplied adjustable components to dial in factory or desired specs.
• Confirm wheel alignment with a certified alignment machine post-installation.

Who is this for: The MOOG K80065 kit is aimed at professional mechanics, restoration shops and DIYers experienced with front suspension work who own or service 1998–2011 Ford Rangers and compatible Explorers, Mountaineers or Mazda B-series trucks. It's especially useful for vehicles showing uneven tire wear, wandering steering, or for older trucks being returned to original steering geometry after suspension repairs. Always cross-check vehicle fitment details before purchasing and follow safety and torque specifications during installation.
