Alignment: Description and Operation
Wheel Alignment Angles
Camber and toe are adjustable on the front suspension systems. Front camber is adjusted through the use of a service repair kit (3C396). Caster is
preset at the factory and should only be adjusted, through the use of a service repair kit (3C396), after all other possible sources have been inspected
and corrected as necessary. Front toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie rod.
Camber
Negative and Positive 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 pivot points (top of strut and lower ball joint), 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.
