Front Caster Inspection
-
NOTE: Push out the cap on the aluminum wheel from the inside after removing the wheel.
-
Set the turning radius gauges beneath the front wheels, and place the boards under the rear wheels the same thickness as the turning radius gauges, then lower the vehicle.
NOTE: Be sure that the vehicle is level with the wheels on the turning radius gauges and the boards.
-
Install the wheel alignment gauge attachment (A) and camber/caster gauge on the wheel hub, and apply the front brake.
-
Turn the front wheel 20 ° outward, then turn the adjusting screw of the camber/caster gauge to set the bubble at 0 °.
-
Turn the wheel 20 ° inward and read the caster angle on the gauge with the bubble at the center of the gauge.
