Jayco and Ford E Series Caster Setting

After all that is known about the Ford E Series being shipped with +3.5 Degrees Caster that is responsible for "wandering" at highway speeds, why is Jayco still shipping them without adding +2.0 degrees more caster? (ie +5.5 caster or more)

Having friends in auto industry I was told when they set chassis up they do a quick caster camber set. Later they drop a 14,000 pound box on it and out the door. Kind of its good enough let some one else worry about it later. Every car or truck was always out always had dealer reset it before I left the dealership

Is there any company that actually swaps out the part? Maybe this is more of an issue at Mor Ryde who do the Chassis prep for nearly all the makers.

The highlighted part numbers do not allow the adjustment needed given the fact that our chassis is at 100% load all the time.

Thanks, I was not aware of Mor Ryde:

Just for the h... of it I sent an email to sales@morryde.com
