TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
The front caster and camber are adjusted by means of removing set shims at the upper control arm to frame mounting bolts and installing washers (W-705040-S426) to allow the arm to be adjusted in the frame slots. A caster split adjustment can be made by removing the left side lower arm-to-frame rearward mounting bolt and installing a cam bolt kit (3B236). The cam bolt can be rotated to adjust the left side caster. Front toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie-rod. The rear camber is adjusted by removing the set shim from the rearward lower control arm to frame mounting bolt and installing a washer (W-705040-S426) to allow the arm to be adjusted in the frame slot. The rear toe is adjusted by the use of the rear toe link.
Scheme 1
Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive or negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.
Scheme 2
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.
Scheme 3
Scheme 4
The vehicle toe setting
- affects tire wear and directional stability.
- must be checked after adding aftermarket equipment, such as a snowplow or body.

Dogtracking is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned roads can give the illusion of dogtracking.
