Re: Front Beam [T3]


Caster is set by the rubber axle mounts (not too easy to adjust).
Camber (the lean of the wheel from the vertical) is adjusted by the upper
ball-joint (the bottom part of the tapered rod with flats for a wrench).  The
notch on the bottom suspension ball-joints should face forward - worth checking
before aligning!

I assume these are degrees?  1.3deg +/- 0.3 (max difference 0.3 deg) is the book
figure for camber.
