Steering Axis Inclination
1982 Plymouth Horizon Base, 2.2L Eng VIN B, Standard TransSECTION Steering Axis Inclination
- Axis inclination is a check for bent or damaged parts, and not a service adjustment. Car must be level (both crosswise and lengthwise) and camber should be properly adjusted. See Fig 1.
- If camber cannot be brought within limits and steering axis inclination is correct, steering knuckle is bent. If camber and steering axis inclination are both incorrect by approximately the same amount, the upper and lower control arms are bent. Replace parts, and recheck all front end adjustments
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to correct by straightening parts.
