Alignment: Service and Repair
Caster and Camber
CAUTION: Do not bend axles or radius arms to change alignment.
After front wheel alignment has been checked, make the necessary adjustments as described below.
1. Measure vehicle caster and camber.
a. Refer to the alignment Specifications to determine if the vehicle is within specifications.
b. Note any difference between the actual measurements and the specification. This information will be used to select the correct service adjuster.
2. If adjustment is necessary, determine the amount of caster/camber in the adjuster installed in the vehicle.
a. Production adjusters have the amounts of caster and camber stamped in the top of the adjuster.
b. The first number is the amount of caster; the second number is the amount of camber in degrees if the adjuster is installed in the right-hand
axle position.
c. If the adjuster is in the left-hand axle, the caster number is the opposite sign of the number shown. For example, a positive amount in the
right-hand axle is a negative amount in the left axle, and a negative amount in the right-hand is a positive in the left-hand position.
