Alignment: Service and Repair
Front Wheel Alignment
Front Caster and Camber Adjustment
1. Position the vehicle on a smooth and level surface.
2. Use a bubble protractor or inclinometer in order to measure the frame angle.
3. The frame angle is the degree of tilt in the frame from the level position.
4. Determine whether the frame angle is level, up-in-rear or down-in-rear.
Important: All of the caster specifications are given with a frame angle at zero. Therefore, it is necessary to know the angle of the frame whether
up-in-rear or down-in-rear before a corrected caster reading can be determined. The camber and the toe angle can be read as is from the alignment
equipment.
5. A down-in-rear frame angle must be subtracted from a positive caster reading (3).
6. An up-in-rear frame angle must be added to a positive caster reading (3).
7. A down-in-rear frame angle must be added to a negative caster reading (3).
