BE40.20-N-1003-20M Absolute caster tolerance ∠° + 30'
  1. Measure level of front axle and rear axle on one side of the vehicle and find the specified value for the caster in the table.
  2. Determine actual caster values.
  3. Compare specified value for caster against actual caster value and determine whether the permissible tolerance is met.

    IMPORTANT The caster cannot be adjusted but it must be checked to ensure the chassis geometry is correct.
