Compensating For Longitudinal Inclination
CAUTION:
Longitudinal inclination MUST be checked BEFORE checking and adjusting caster since it will affect the final caster angle. See LONGITUDINAL INCLINATION
.
If the vehicle is inclined to the front or rear, add to or subtract from the caster value measured according to the direction the vehicle.
For example:
- Caster Angle Measured
1° 10' - Correction Value For Vehicle Inclination
Example for vehicle inclined to the front: +1° - Caster
2° 10'
NOTE:
Vehicle inclined to the front: add correction value. Vehicle inclined to the rear: subtract correction value.
