Model 906.15/65 National version USA and Canada, 3665 mm wheelbase with rear axle 741.416





Model 906.15/65 National version USA and Canada, 4325 mm wheelbase with rear axle 741.416

Tolerance for caster ±30'
Difference, left to right: 30'

Procedure:

1 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.

2 Measure actual caster as part of axle alignment and compare with specified values.

Compare the caster values determined on both sides of the vehicle and establish whether the permissible tolerance has been maintained.

Example:
Front axle level (FA) 276 mm
and rear axle level (RA) 453 mm
= Front axle caster value 03° 38'
