Inside wheel 9-137.2°±2°
Outside wheel32°±2° 32°±2°5. Check the steering angle of wheel
Fully steer the wheel and measure the angle
The angle of wheel:
If the kingpin caster angle and the kingpin inclination be out of spec, check the damage and abrasion of
suspension parts after the correct adjustment of camber angle. If there is deviation with spec for right and left wheel angle, check the rack length of left and right ends.
6. Check the camber, caster and steering axle inclination angle
7. Adjust the camber angle
Notice:
Check the toe-in after adjust the camber angle
