Camber & Caster Angle: Notes
CAUTION:
Prior to any cam bolt rotation, lock nuts must be loosened to ends of pivot bolt threads. This must be done to allow lower control arm mounting brackets to be spread, allowing free movement of bushings. If not done, serious bracket bending, weld breakage of cam retainer, free cam and cam bolt shank fracturing, or thread damage can occur. It may be necessary to tap bracket ears away from bushings to allow unrestricted cam bolt movement.
The camber and caster angles on this vehicle are adjustable using cams located on lower control arm bushing pivot bolts. Correct camber and caster specifications are obtained by simultaneously rotating front and rear adjustment cams until lower control arm is correctly positioned.
NOTE:
The Inclinometer Sensor, Special Tool 6989 must be zeroed (calibrated) prior to each time it will be used to read the caster angle on the vehicle. The Inclinometer Sensor is calibrated with the surface positioned on a known flat level surface such as the alignment rack. Refer to the Inclinometer Sensor (6989) Operators Manual included in the 1996 Essential Viper Alignment Package, for the specific procedure to be used to zero the inclinometer sensor.
