Toe Setting:
The toe setting represents different distances
between the front and rear of the tires (measured
at the vertical center line of the tires).
Toe-in: Occurs when the tire front
distance is less than the tire rear
distance.
Toe-out: Occurs when the tire
front distance is greater than the
tire rear distance.
Wheels are generally set with initial toe-in.
As the motorhome operates tires tend toward
a toe-out condition. By starting with an initial
toe-in setting, a desirable “near zero toe-in” can
be achieved when the motorhome is in motion.
Incorrect toe settings, where toed-in or toed-
out, can have a signi fi cant affect on tire wear.
The toe setting is adjusted by lengthening or
shortening the cross tube.
Caster Adjustments:
Caster is the fore and aft tilt (toward the
front or rear of the motorhome) of the steering
kingpin as viewed from the side of the
motorhome.
“Positive” caster is the tilt of the top end of
the kingpin toward the rear of the motorhome.
“Negative” caster is the tilt of the top end of
the kingpin toward the front of the motorhome.
Setting the caster angle more positive than
speci fi ed may result in excess steering effort
and/or shimmy. Decreasing the angle may result
in the motorhome wandering or poor steering
return to center. The caster angle is determined
by the installed position of the steer axle.
Lubrication Maintenance Safety
The front axle components
require periodic lubrication
maintenance. Chock wheels
for safety prior to accessing
components underneath the
motorhome.
WARNING:
Never place yourself under motorhome
without first properly blocking frame
(jackstands) from coming down in case
of rapid deflation of air system.
NOTE:
Suspension and steering components are
lubricated at the factory using Texaco
Starplex NLGI 2 Lithium Soap based
grease.
