DESCRIPTION
This bulletin provides information on adjustments, service specification and parts for front end alignment. When the applicable service procedures indicate that a front end alignment is necessary to resolve a customer complaint, refer to the information in the bulletin for recommended guidelines.
DETAILED SERVICE PROCEDURE
The following chart illustrates optimum alignment setting and recommended allowable ranges for B-Series and Navajo vehicles.
NOTE:
These ranges are only recommended guidelines.
VEHICLE PREPARATION AND CONDITION
- No Driver and/or Passangers.
- No Luggage.
- Gas Tank Full, Radiator and Engine Oil To The Specified Levels.
- Spare Tire, Jack and Tools Stored in Designated Areas.
- Tire Pressure Checked and, If Necessary, Adjusted.
- Tire Sizes Comparable To Original Equipment.
- Suspension Conforms With That of an Originally Equipped Vehicle.
DEFINITIONS
- Camber Average - LH camber plus RH camber divided by two (2). Vehicles set to this specification as measured with normal loading will result in optimum tire wear.
- Caster Average - LH caster plus RH caster divided by two (2). These are NOT recommended values for settings. These are only minimum and maximum limitations. Vehicles set outside these limits may experience the following:
- Vehicles which exceed the maximum caster value may result in shimmy concerns.
- Vehicles operated below the minimum caster value may result in wander or poor steering return ability concerns.
- Camber Split - LH camber minus RH camber.
- Caster Split - LH caster minus RH caster.
NOTE:
Vehicles with average caster and/or camber that measure significantly out of specified ranges may have a ride height out of the normal operating range. Normal service procedures may not provide adequate adjustment to bring the alignment to the preferred specification. If the ride height appears to be the issue, refer to section R of the 1994 Workshop Manual Supplement or section R of the 1995 Workshop Manual for vehicle lean, inspection and repair procedures.
