Wheel Alignment
Preparation
1. Check the tire pressure.
2. Check the steering wheel angle.
If significantly off center, it may be necessary to remove the steering wheel and reposition it on the splines.
Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position.
Alignment should be checked/adjusted in one continuous procedure: caster, front camber, rear camber, rear toe, front toe and steering wheel alignment.
Front Caster:
1. Install the special tools on the wheels.
NOTE: Make sure the wheel hubs are clean and rust-free before installing the special tools.
2. Install a camber/caster gauge on the special tools and apply the front brake.
Turn the wheel 20° inward.
3. Turn the adjust screw so that the bubble in the caster gauge is at 0°.
4. Turn the wheel outward and read the caster on the gauge with the bubble at the center of the gauge.
Caster Angle: 2° 20' ± 30'
5. If adjustment is required, record the caster reading then go to step 6.
If adjustment is not required, proceed to step 10.
6. Loosen the self-locking nut on the end of the radius rod.
7. Adjust the caster by turning the radius rod adjuster as required.
