MECHANIC JOE SPEAKING
“One of the most important things in connection with service on any car is the order in which the work is done. I know of no better illustration of this than the instructions for altering the caster of front wheels on one car where knee-ac-tion is employed. The temptation is to make the caster adjustment without regard for other matters involved in front-end alignment.” “On this car the first step is to inspect and adjust, if necessary, the king pin angle. Any change in the camber affects the caster, so naturally caster is the last of the three matters to be considered. Reversing the order of the work may throw the whole thing cut of balance.”
