Vehicle Longitudinal Tilt, Measuring

Vehicle longitudinal tilt, measuring
Special Tools and Equipment





^ 3021 protractor





^ Measure vehicle longitudinal tilt at long member.

For determining caster on vehicle tilt at zero, subtract or add measured caster value of vehicle tilt.

Example:
Values measured at wheel alignment tester: 1°10'
Correction value for vehicle tilt: + 1° (e.g. 1 toward front)
Caster (for zero vehicle tilt)= 2°10'

Notes:
^ Tilt of vehicle toward front: Add correction value.
^ Tilt of vehicle toward rear: Subtract correction value.
^ Make sure the surface of the longitudinal member in measuring range is clean and even.
