Front caster






Procedure: Measure heights of front and rear axles, then consult the table for the caster data

Caster tolerance ±30'

The level values are displyed by the electronic inclinometer in decimal degrees Example: Front axle level 6.3° + rear axle level 0.4° = Caster 10.40°

Toe-in at front axle
Except AMG with CODE P98 0°12' (±10')
AMG with CODE P98 0°10' (±6')


Toe-out on turn with inside wheel steered through 20°
