Viper GTS V10-488 8.0L (1998)
Front Caster Angle Fixture Installed On Knuckle
11. Once inclinometers are mounted on Caster Angle Fixtures, they can be mounted on either the rear or front knuckle caster angle pads as shown. The
caster pads are located on the front edge of the front steering knuckle and the rear edge of rear knuckle. Be sure caster pads are thoroughly cleaned
before mounting the Caster Inclinometers on the knuckles. Caster Inclinometers must sit flat on caster pads to obtain accurate caster readings.
12. Adjust caster using the measurements viewed on the DRB III screen, and camber using the measurements viewed on the alignment equipment.
13. When adjustments are complete, transfer the inclinometers to the other set of fixtures to measure front or rear caster which has yet to be measured.
CAMBER ANGLE
Camber angle adjustment involves the repositioning of the lower control arm pivot bolts using the adjustment cams. There are 2 cams located on
each lower control arm pivot bolt, 4 per each corner of the vehicle front and rear. Repositioning of the pivot bolt cams moves the lower ball joint
in or out to obtain the required camber specifications.
