Having said all that. Have you ever driven an Econoline van? There is play in the steering wheel (note that Axis/Vegas units have a lot more in common with Ford based class C's than ACE, Windsport, etc. despite the external similarities). I believe that there is something in the steering box that can be tightened up to reduce the play, however, I don't think you'll ever eliminate it as its in the geometry of the E350/E450 steering mechanism.
1. AFTER Thor adds all of their weight on, what does that leave us, 400lbs or so? Thor should be doing the alignment prior to customer acceptance. If you have a problem with that, I could care less.

2. While attempting to be witty, Jimmy The Greek, your reading comprehension left you. You'd have read that I had built a Sportsomobile e-350 4x4 van and had the same problem. I was able to correct 50% of it, which is still 100% worse than any Dodge or Chevy...
