Caster angle change

Post by truckdoctor »

I'm looking for the easiest way to measure CASTER angle please, any suggestions for special tools etc.?
Although the suspension has no adjustment I need to find out what the angle is now and try somehow to make changes.
Thanks Steve

Your local tyre place can do it I believe.

A to change from negative to positive caster at 3 degrees and, would make a difference to straight line stability. Could be worth the effort.
