AR40.20-P-0331T Check and Adjust Rear Axle Camber/Caster



Checking Rear Axle Camber

1 Check vehicle level at front and rear axles with electronic clinometer
2 Check rear axle camber

NOTE:
- The camber on the rear axle is not adjustable.
- If substantial deviations in the rear axle camber are found, the cause may be one of the following:
- Excessive difference in the vehicle level between the left and right sides of the vehicle.
- Accident damage to the frame floor. Level differences at the mounting points for the rear axle carrier between the left and right sides of the body. Experience shows that bending caused by an accident also has an effect on the toe.
