Cam Caster Adjustment
Having trouble keeping your lifted Ford driving straight? Is your steering wheel not returning to center? Suspension lifts and leveling kits can cause the steering pivot axis and tire position to swing rearward, causing negative caster (resulting in wandering). By installing BD Diesel’s cam caster adjuster kit on the radius control arms of ’05 to ’10 Ford trucks, correcting the caster to a more positive angle is made easier. The product also helps prevent a number of potential steering problems.

Coil Spring Innovation
Now available from SuperSprings is its Coil Sumo Springs, which install between the turns of front (and rear) coil springs. Because the company’s proprietary microcellular urethane material offers a progressive spring rate, they provide extra support for the suspension only when needed. The easy-to-install, maintenance-free solution allows light-duty vehicles equipped with snowplows, replacement bumpers, or winches to experience less side-to-side body roll, front end dip, and sagging, without compromising ride quality.

Radiator Relief
New from Design Engineering is a specially formulated coolant additive called Radiator Relief. Geared toward today’s large-capacity diesel cooling systems and blended for extreme use, it reduces the surface tension of diesel engine coolant. It also maximizes the transfer of heat more efficiently from the engine to the radiator (providing up to a 30 degree drop in coolant temp) and has an anti-foaming agent that accelerates the heat transfer process within the cylinder head(s).
