Hi!

What i found was the following:
Front axle (unladen vehicle) :
Without power steering:
King pin inclination : 13 deg. 14'
Castor : 2 deg 28'
Camber : 0 deg 1' (not on all models, some have -1 deg.)
Toe : 0-2mm

With power steering:
King pin inclination : 13 deg 18'
Castor : 4 deg 6'
Camber : -1 deg
Toe : 0-2mm

Hope this helps. You can only adjust the toe as the camber, castor and king pin inclination is fix. It's best done at a wheel alignment station as you can be sure that afterwards the steering wheel will be properly aligned when driving straight.

Salut

I got a too small king pin angle on the left wheel... about 10deg.15'.
Does anybody knows what can cause this?
Feels funny on tight left turns...
Thanks.
