Front Caster and Camber Adjustment

Vehicle Ride Height Location & Specifications:

Caster Measures:

CAMBER
1. Determine the camber from the alignment equipment.
2. Install adjustment kit No. 15538596, or equivalent.
3. Reset camber to specifications.

CASTER
All caster specifications are given with the vehicle frame level (zero angle).
1. Position vehicle on a smooth level surface.
2. If necessary, correct "Z" height.
3. Using a bubble protractor or inclinometer, measure frame angle,
Figs. 1 and 2.

4. Note frame angle as being up in the rear or down in the rear.
5. Determine caster angle from alignment equipment.
6. Determine actual (corrected) caster reading, Fig. 2.
7. When measuring caster, note the following:
a. A decrease in rear frame angle must be subtracted from a positive caster reading.
b. An increase in rear frame angle must be added to a positive caster reading.
c. A decrease in rear frame angle must be added to a negative caster reading.
d. An increase in rear frame angle must be subtracted from a negative caster reading.
8. If the caster angle is incorrect, correct the caster angle by turning the adjustment cam bolts.
