Front Camber






Procedure: Measure front axle level and obtain camber value from the table.
Tolerance ±20'
Maximum difference between left and right 20'

Example: Front axle level (20 mm or 4.9°) = camber value (-0°39' ±20')

Front Caster (VA=Front Axle Level; HA=Rear Axle Level)






Procedure: Measure front and rear axle level and obtain the front axle caster value (measured with the wheels turned 20°) from the table.
Tolerance ±30'
Maximum difference between left and right 30'
Example: Front axle level (20 mm or 4.9°) + Rear axle level (5 mm or -0.2°) = caster value (4°58' ±30')
