NOTE: Measure front axle level and obtain camber value from the table.
The front axle level values are displayed by the electronic level measuring instrument in decimal degrees [°].
Example: Front axle level (6.4°) = camber value (-0°50' ± 20')

Front Caster (VA=Front Axle Level; HA=Rear Axle Level)






NOTE: Measure front and rear axle level and obtain the front axle caster value (measured with the wheels turned 20°) from the table.
Tolerance ± 30', max. difference between left and right 30'.
The level values are displayed by the electronic level measuring instrument in decimal degrees [°].
Example: Front axle level (6.9°) + Rear axle level (-0.9°) = caster value (8°56' ± 30')
