CASTER

All caster specifications are given with the vehicle frame level (zero angle).
1. Position vehicle on a smooth level surface.
2. If necessary, correct ``Z'' height.
3. Using a bubble protractor or inclinometer, measure frame angle, Figs. 1 and 2.
4. Note frame angle as being up in the rear or down in the rear.
5. Determine caster angle from alignment equipment.
6. Determine actual (corrected) caster reading, Fig. 2.
7. When measuring caster, note the following:
a. A down in rear frame angle must be subtracted from a positive caster reading.
b. An up in rear frame angle must be added to a positive caster reading.
c. A down in rear frame angle must be added to a negative caster reading.
d. An up in rear frame angle must be subtracted from a negative caster reading.
8. If the caster angle is incorrect, correct the caster angle by turning the adjustment cam bolts.

CAMBER

1. Determine the camber from the alignment equipment.
2. Install adjustment kit No. 15538596, or equivalent.
3. Reset camber to specifications.
