How do you test camber on caster?

How do you test camber on caster?

To Measure Camber:

1. Turn the wheels so they point straight ahead.
2. Attach the caster/camber gauge to the spindle or hub.
3. Rotate the gauge so the bubble in the small vial closest to you is centered.
4. Camber is shown on the two outer vials. The left vial reads positive (+). The right vial reads negative (-).

How do you adjust the camber on AU Falcon?

To Alter Camber: • Removing shims at front and rear will move camber to the negative. Adding shims at front and rear will move camber to the positive. Fitment or removal of 6.0mm shim from front and rear = 0.6 deg change. Fitment or removal of 3.0mm shim from front and rear = 0.3 deg change.

What is the caster angle on a Bronco?

The caster angle is defined as the number of degrees backward (positive) or forward (negative) of the tilt of the king pins (Dana 30) or ball joints (Dana 44) in relation to a vertical line through the center of the front end. These are our observations from years of building early Broncos.

How do you adjust the camber bushing on a Bronco?

If it still pulls, repeat procedure until you get a small enough shim on the side opposite pull to cancel pull. If you get down to zero, start going back up in shim degree, but make sure bottom of upper ball joint is facing forward instead of rearward. At this point, measure toe again and adjust.

Do you change camber and caster at same time?

The shims on TTB will change camber AND caster at the same time when rotated. Getting factory shims out may be quite a project, especially on older trucks. Set camber at zero for both sides, ensuring bottom of upper ball joints are pointing back.

How do you adjust camber on a TTB truck?

I use a very large adjustable wrench to adjust shims once installed. The shims on TTB will change camber AND caster at the same time when rotated. Getting factory shims out may be quite a project, especially on older trucks. Set camber at zero for both sides, ensuring bottom of upper ball joints are pointing back.

Is the camber bushing on a Bronco adjustable?

The caster angle is defined as the number of degrees backward (positive) or forward (negative) of the tilt of the king pins (Dana 30) or ball joints (Dana 44) in relation to a vertical line through the center of the front end. These are our observations from years of building early Broncos.

Can a camber bushing be rotated into caster?

With most trucks, if the full degree of correction is not needed for camber, the remainder can be rotated into caster. These are the adjustable camber/caster bushings for Ford IFS Dana 44 and IFS Dana 50 front axles.

What kind of bushing do I need for my Bronco?

Properly installed degreed C-bushings will move the caster back in the positive direction. Because of the caster issue about 50% of Broncos going to a 4.5″ lift and most Broncos going to a 5.5″ lift will need more caster correction than the standard 7 degree C-bushing. The additional correction can be addressed in a number of ways.
