Camber & Caster Adjustment

Camber 

WARNING: Shut off the electrical power to the air suspension system prior to hoisting or jacking an air suspension equipped vehicle. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
1. Turn the air suspension service switch to the OFF position.
2. Using alignment equipment and the manufacturer's instructions, measure the camber and caster settings.
NOTE: Camber adjustment can effect caster and toe settings.
