WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 47 other vehicles, including the 2001 Pontiac Montana, 2001 Pontiac Aztek, 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada, and 2001 GMC Sonoma. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Position vehicle on smooth, level surface. Using inclinometer or bubble protractor, measure frame angle. Determine if frame angle is up-in-rear or down-in-rear.
- To determine corrected caster reading with various frame angles and caster readings apply one of the following rules:
- Down-in-rear frame angle must be subtracted from a positive caster reading.
- Up-in-rear frame angle must be added to a positive caster reading.
- Down-in-rear frame angle must be added to a negative caster reading.
- Up-in-rear frame angle must be subtracted from a negative caster reading.
If corrected caster is not within specification, adjust caster to specified setting.
