ABSTRACT:
A method for aligning a suspension of vehicle permits rapid alignment of the suspension. The method eliminates the need to adjust camber by incorporating into a caster adjustment a factor that accounts for minor deviations in the camber angles. Additionally, rather than adjusting the caster of a right and left road wheel, the caster of only one of the road wheels needs to be adjusted. Specifically, the method further compensates the caster angle adjustment to account for pull or drift that might be induced by a differential camber angle.
