CAMBER ADJUSTMENT:
**If cross camber (angle/degree difference between sides) is greater than 1.0 degree, select the wheel furthest from the preferred camber target value and
replace that ball joint with the appropriate offset ball joint listed above. The camber target value of the adjusted side should equal the unadjusted side,
providing a preferred cross camber value of 0.0 degrees. A cross camber of no more than 1.0 degree is allowed but both left and right camber values
must remain within the allowable camber range. Never compensate for drift with additional cross camber. This could compromise vehicle handling. **
CASTER ADJUSTMENT:
If cross caster is greater than the specifications shown above, utilize the offset ball joint to reduce the cross caster. If individual caster is above the
specifications, utilize the cam or shim adjustment where possible. Use the offset ball joints if the caster cannot be adjusted using the other methods.
Target caster is shown above if two offset ball joints are used. Offset ball joints will not effect drive line (front propeller shaft) angles. If caster angles are
changed using shims and cams, always road test the vehicle to verify that no drive line disturbance has been created. Verify that the steering wheel is
