Camber Reading (Laser 4)
Proceed with the following steps to read Camber:
1) Place front wheels in straight ahead position with
steering wheel level. The engine must be started if
the vehicle has power steering. Remove locking
pins from the turning radius gauges and rear wheel
slip plates. Rotate each wheel until the large wheel
clamp adjusting knob is at the top.
2) Lower all four wheels until the front wheels rest on
the turning radius gauges and the rear wheels rest
on the rear wheel slip plates. Be sure turning radius
gauges are centered under the front tires.
3) Install brake pedal depressor. The engine must be
running if the vehicle has power brakes.
4) Bounce the vehicle at both front and rear to
normalize the suspension weight.
5) Mount the Spirit Level Gauge on the left front
Wheel Clamp. (See Fig. 13) Be sure the magnet is
centered on the mounting disk.
6) Read Camber at the center of the bubble on the
Camber Scale. The spirit level for Camber is located
on the right side of the gauge. (See Fig. 14)
Camber is zero when the center of the bubble is on
zero of the scale.
Camber is positive when the bubble is away from
zero toward the wheel.
Camber is negative when the bubble is away from
zero, away from the wheel.
7) Repeat the above procedure on the right front wheel.
If camber adjustments and specifications are available
for the rear wheels, repeat the above on each wheel.
