  2. INSTALL CAMBER-CASTER-KINGPIN GAUGE OR POSITION VEHICLE ON WHEEL ALIGNMENT TESTER 

    Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.

    If the measured value is not within the specified value, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear and replace them if necessary because camber is not adjustable.

  4. INSPECT TOE-IN 
    TOE-IN SPECIFICATIONS

    Toe-In
