Caster




Wheel Alignment Angles

Front caster and camber are adjusted by replacing the upper arm alignment set shims with washers. This allows for adjustment of the arm in the frame slot.

Front toe is adjusted by the use of the inner tie rods.

Caster










Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when viewed from the side. The caster specifications will give the vehicle the best directional stability characteristics when loaded and driven. The caster setting is not related to tire wear.
