CLEAR VISION [c]:

Nominal ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................  -0.6°

Maximum ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................  +2.4°

TURNING ANGLE [d] .............................................................................................................................................................................................  18.25°

[a] Caster measurements must be made on the LH side by turning the left wheel through the prescribed angle of sweep and on the RH side by turning

the right wheel through the prescribed angle of sweep for the equipment being used. When using alignment equipment designed to measure caster
on both the RH and LH side, turning only one wheel will result in a significant error in caster angle for the other wheel.

[b] Positive value is toe-in, negative value is toe-out.
[c]

Position of steering wheel spoke to horizontal. Negative value specification is counterclockwise.

[d] Turning angle at outside wheel with inside wheel turned 20°.

NOTE:  All specifications are given for a vehicle at curb height with a 1/2 tank of fuel.
