Alignment: Description and Operation
Wheel Alignment Angles
The front caster and camber are adjusted by removing the lower arm-to-frame mounting bolts and installing adjuster kits to allow the arm to be
adjusted in the frame slots. Front toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie-rod. The rear camber is adjusted by removing the upper
arm-to-wheel knuckle mounting bolt and installing an adjuster kit to allow the wheel knuckle to be adjusted in the arm slot. The rear toe is adjusted by
the use of the rear toe link.
Camber
Negative and Positive Camber
Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive or negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.
Caster
Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when viewed from the side. The caster specifications will give
the vehicle the best directional stability characteristics when loaded and driven. The caster setting is not related to tire wear.
