Turning Angle Inspection
NOTE: Use commercially-available computerized four
wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel align-
ment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow
the equioment manufacturer's instructions.
1. Turn the wheel right and left while applying the
brake, and measure the turning angle of both
wneels.
Turning angle:
lnward whsol: 36'00't 2"
Outward wheel: 30'30'{rotorencel
lf the turning angle is not within the specifications.

2, Push on the damper as shown.
3. Check for smooth operation through a full stroke,
both compression and extension.
NOTE: The damper should move smoothly. lf it
does not (no compression or no extension), the gas
is leaking, and the damper should be replaced.
Check for oil leaks, abnormal noises or binding dur-
ing these tests.
