When the procedure has been completed lower
the car and check front wheel toe-out for specified
.079" to .157" (2 to 4 mm).
FRONT
CASTER
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
END CAMBER AND
Front end geometry angles with a loaded car
(seven people plus 154 lbs - 70 kg) are the follow-
ing:
camber: 0° 30'
±
20';
caster;
4° 55'
±
30'.
For front wheel toe-out, see covering specifica-
tions on page 326.
To adjust camber (", fig. 530) and caster
(P"
fig. 530) set shims (fig. 530) at screws F and G be-
tween lower control arm mounting brackets and
front underframe.
Camber and caster angles are checked by means
of the gauge described on page 136 for Sedan
version.
Preparatory inspections to geometry measure-
ments are the same as for the Sedan version (see
page 136), except for tire pressures which should
be as follows:
l
medium load .
31.3 psi (2.2 kg/em')
- rear
full load
. '.'
39.8 psi (2.8 kg/em')
Checking procedures for camber and caster an-
gles are as outlined on page 136 for Sedan version:
note the points hereafter:
- To widen angle
Q.:
(fig. 530) decrease the num-
ber of shims at both screws F and G; reverse this
step
if
angle must be narrowed.
- To widen angle
~
(fig. 530) shift some shims
from screw F to screw G; reverse this step if angle
must be narrowed.
NOTE·
With car in ( loaded» conditions or seven
people plus 154 Ibs (70 kg):
- distance (x, fig. 530) between wheel center (0)
and floor plane should be 1.693" (43 mm).
- front
24.2 psi (1.7 kg/em')
