Alignment: Description and Operation
Wheel Alignment Angles
Econoline caster and camber correction requirements are factory-determined. Adjusters are available to correct a caster/camber measurement that does
not meet specification.
Before changing the production caster/camber adjuster, thoroughly inspect the suspension system to locate worn or damaged components that may
have caused the setting to change.
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 and Frame Angle (Positive Caster Shown)
Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints 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.
