Measure front axle level and rear axle level on one side of the vehicle and obtain the specified value of caster (measured via 20° wheel angle) from the table.
The caster cannot be adjusted but it must be checked to ensure the chassis geometry is correct.

Value "h" for FA in the table corresponds to the previously determined dimension "A" at the front-axle shock-absorber strut. Value "h" for RA in the table corresponds to the previously determined dimension "B" at the rear-axle shock absorber.
Measure the actual caster as part of the axle alignment and compare with the specified values.
Compare the caster values determined on both sides of the vehicle and establish whether the permissible tolerance has been maintained.

Example on vehicle with wheelbase 4325 mm: Level at front axle (FA) 465 mm and level at rear axle (RA) 507 mm = Caster value for front axle 03°39'
