CAMBER OF 0 +/- 1/2~ AS VEHICLE IS OPERATED IS OPTIMUM

1. For vehicles with constant load (utility bodies) - Set camber to 0 +/- 1/2~. Refer to Figures 16 and 17.

2. For vehicles with varying loads (wreckers, dumps, rollback tilts, stake racks, etc.), proceed as follows:

a. Have the customer measure fender to ground heights, at wheel centerline with vehicle empty and loaded.

b. Measure the front end alignment..

^ Caster

^ Camber

^ Toe

^ Ride height

^ Front fender height to ground
c. Determine the difference of customer measured loaded and empty fender height to ground when the alignment is measured.

d. Compute camber at customer measured heights by adding 3/4~ per 1/2" height difference for higher customer heights. Subtract 3/4~ per 1/2" height for lower measured fender heights to measured camber.

e. Compute the average camber by averaging the high and low numbers.

f. Reset camber with computed average between 0 + 1/2~.

TOE

3. Set Toe to 0 +/- 1/2~.

CASTER

4. Set caster as shown in the Shop Manual according to ride height.
