8 - Caster and Camber Adjustments - Chevy

To adjust for caster and camber, loosen the upper sup-

port shaft to crossmember nuts, add or subtract shims as

required and retighten nuts.

NOTE:
Caster and camber can be adjusted in

one operation.

Caster and camber specifications will be found in the

last section of this book.

Chevrolet and Chevy II

The caster angle is adjusted by turning the two niits at

the front of the lower control arm strut rod (figs. 7 and

8).
Shortening this rod will increase caster. Lengthen-

ing will decrease caster.

Camber angle is adjusted by loosening the lower con-

trol arm pivot bolt and rotating the cam located on this

pivot. This eccentric cam action will move lower control

arm in or out, thereby varying camber.

Steering Axis Inclination Adjustment

"Camber" is the outward tilt of the wheel and "steering

axis inclination" is the inward tilt of the knuckle. Cam-

ber cannot be changed without changing steering axis

inclination. Correct specifications willbe found at the

end of this section. If, with the camber correctly ad-

justed, the steering axis inclination does not fall within

the specified limits the knuckle is bent and should be

replaced.

If a new knuckle is installed, caster, camber and toe-in

must be readjusted.

Toe-In Adjustment

Toe-in, the inward pointing of both front wheels, is

checked with the wheels in the straight ahead position. It

is the difference of the distance measured between the

extreme front and the distance measured between the ex-

treme rear of both front wheels. Correct toe-in specifi-

cations will be found at the end of this section.
NOTE:
Toe-in must be adjusted after caster

and camber adjustment.

A. If the equipment being used measures the toe-in of

each wheel individually:

1.
Set the steering gear on the high point, mark 12

o'clock position on the steering shaft and position

the steering wheel for straight ahead driving.

2.
Loosen the clamp bolt at each end of each tie rod

and adjust to the total toe-in as given in the speci-

fications at the end of this book.

B.
If a tram gauge is being used, proceed as follows:

1.
Set the front wheels in the straight ahead position.

2.
Loosen the clamp bolts on one tie rod and adjust

for the proper toe-in as given in the specifications

at the end of this book.

3.
Loosen the clamp bolts on the other tie rod. Turn

both rods the same amount and in the same direc-

tion to place the steering gear on its high point and

position the steering wheel in its straight ahead

position.

C.
After the adjustment has been made:

1.
a. Chevrolet—Position inner tie rod clamp bosses

forward to 90° down to avoid stabilizer link bolt

interference.

b.
Chevelle—Position the tie rod clamp bosses

down to 45?° forward to avoid interference.

c. Chevy II--Position the outer tie rod clamp

bosses forward and not more than 45° up or

down from horizontal to avoid interference.

Inner clamps forward and vertical.

d. Corvette--Position inner tie rod clamps with

bolt horizontal and down. Position outer clamps

with bolt vertical and to the rear.

e. Camaro—Position inner tie rod clamps with

open end of clamp and slot in line. Position

relative to ground unimportant. Position outer

clamps with bolt top and 30° either side of ver-

tical. Position relative to slot unimportant.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

The lubricant level should be periodically checked and

maintained at level of filler plug with a warm axle. See

the lubrication section of this manual for lubricant

recommendations.

Lubricant Leaks

Lubricant leaks should be checked for at the pinion

flange oil seal, axle wheel bearing seals, lubricant-filler
plug, and carrier cover. Correction of these leaks con-

sists of replacing the defective seals or gaskets involved

as described in this section.

AXLE BOLTS AND WHEEL NUTS

parent container to insure that end of bleeder hose

will remain submerged during bleeding. Place the

loose end of bleeder hose into the container. Be

sure the hose end is submerged in the fluid.

6. Open wheel cylinder bleeder valve by turning Tool

J-21472 counterclockwise approximately 1/3 of a

turn and observe flow of fluid at end of bleeder

hose.

7.
Close bleeder valve tightly as soon as bubbles stop

and brake fluid flows in a solid stream from the

bleeder hose.

8. Remove brake bleeder wrench and bleeder hose

from wheel cylinder bleeder valve.

9. Repeat Steps 4 through 8 on the remaining wheel

Cylinders in the correct bleeding sequence (fig. 5).

10.

BRAKE DRUMS

Front brake drums are the demountable type; that is,

they can be removed without removing the hub. Rear

brake drums are demountable and may be removed

wihtout removing the axle shaft.

A lanced "knock out" area (fig. 34) is provided in

the web of the brake drum for servicing purposes in

the event retracting of the brake shoes is required in

order to remove the drum.

A small screw driver or hooked wire may be inserted

to disengage the automatic adjuster actuating lever so

the star wheel may be turned.

Removal

1.
Raise vehicle and place on jack stand.
2.
Remove wheel and tire assembly, back off brake

adjustment and remove drum.

Inspection and Reconditioning

Whenever brake drums are removed they should be

thoroughly cleaned and inspected for cracks, scores,

deep grooves, and out-of-round. Any of these conditions

must be corrected since they can impair the efficiency

of brake operation and also can cause premature failure

of other parts.

Smooth up any slight scores by polishing with fine

emery cloth. Heavy or extensive scoring will cause

excessive brake lining wear and it will probably be

necessary to rebore in order to true up the braking

surface.

An out-of-round drum makes accurate brake shoe

adjustment impossible and is likely to cause excessive

wear of other parts of brake mechanism due to its

eccentric action.

A drum that is more than .008" out-of-round on the

diameter is unfit for service and should be rebored.

Out-of^round, as well as taper and wear can be ac-

curately measured with an inside micrometer fitted

with proper extension rods.

If drum is to be rebored for use with standard size

brake facings which are worn very little, only enough

metal should be removed to obtain a true smooth braking

surface.

If drum has to be rebored more than .020" over the

standard diameter, it should be rebored to .060" diameter

oversize and the brake facing should be replaced with

.030"
oversize facings.

A brake drum must not be rebored more than .060"

over the maximum standard diameter, since removal

of more metal will effect, dissipation of heat and may

cause distortion of drum. Chevrolet brake facing is

not furnished larger than .030" oversize and this will

not work efficiently in drums bored more than .060"

oversize.

Brake drums may be refinished either by turning or

grinding. Best brake performance is obtained by turning

drums with a very fine feed. To insure maximum lining

life,
the refinished braking surface must be smooth and

free from chatter or tool marks, and run-out must not

exceed .005" total indicator reading.

Cleaning

New brake drums in parts stock are given a light.

coating of rust proofing oil to prevent the formation of

rust on the critical braking surfaces during the time

that the drums are in storage.

This rust proofing oil must be carefully removed

before the drum is placed in service to prevent any

of this oil from getting on the brake shoe facings, which

might cause an extreme brake grab condition.

It is recommended that a suitable volatile, non-toxic,

greaseless type solvent be used to clean the oil from the

braking surface of the new brake drums before they are

•placed in service to insure the cleanest possible surface.

Gasoline or kerosene should not be used as there is

danger that a portion of the diluated oil substance may

be left on the braking surface that may later cause

difficulty.

Tune Up should be checked whenever the Air Injection

Reactor System seems to be malfunctioning. Particular

care should be taken in checking items that affect fuel-air

ratio such as the crankcase ventilation system, the car-

buretor and the carburetor air cleaner. Carburetors and

distributors for engines with the Air Injection Reactor

System are designed, particularly, for these engines;

therefore, they must not be interchanged with or replaced

by a carburetor or distributor designed for an engine

without the Air Injection Reactor System.
