Beretta V6-173 2.8L (1989)
6. Reset camber for a lead/pull to the left.
A. Set the RF camber to a "+" value (no more than + 1.00 degree).
B. Set the LF camber to a "-" value (no more than - 1.00 degree).
C. Total cross camber (left minus right) should be no more than 2 degrees.
D. Re-ride. If not fixed, contact Technical Assistance.
7. Reset camber for a lead/pull to the right.

B. Set the LF camber to a "+" value (no more than + 1.00 degree),
C. Total cross camber (left minus right) should be no more than 2 degrees.
D. Re-ride. If not fixed, contact Technical Assistance.
Torque Steer
1. Put vehicle on hoist.
A. Visually inspect for damaged front and/or rear suspension or steering components.
B. Check for obvious brake drag.
C. Swap left front tire/wheel assembly with right front tire/wheel assembly. Cross only the front tires/wheels. Do not perform a standard or
modified "X" rotation.
2. Re-ride the vehicle.
A. If the vehicle is fixed, OK.
B. If the vehicle torque steers in the opposite direction from the original complaint, the problem is most likely to be tire related. Proceed to step 3.
C. If the vehicle torque steers in the same direction, proceed to step 4.
3. Tire/wheel rotation for torque steer.
A. Swap LF tire/wheel assembly with LR tire/wheel and re-ride.
B. If vehicle is fixed, replace LR tire (tire that was originally on RF). If vehicle is not fixed replace RF tire (tire that was originally on LF.)
C. Re-ride to confirm fix. Labor operations E0100 and E0420.
4. Measure front suspension "Z" heights as specified in Service Manual.
One method of taking this measurement is to stretch a string tightly between the grease fittings on the bottom of the ball joints and measure the
distance up from the string to the bottom surface of the suspension support.
If the side-to-side difference is greater than 6 mm (1/4 inch), correct the "Z" heights to equal settings. "Z" height can be increased by installing a
new service replacement spring that is one part number "stronger" (or more if required) than the original equipment spring. Each subsequent spring
code will result in approximately 8 mm (3/8 inch) difference in "Z" height from the previous code.
5. Re-ride the vehicle.
A. If the vehicle is fixed, OK. Labor operation E3020 or E3021.
B. If the vehicle still torque steers, proceed to next step.
