- Checking the clearance between the tire sidewall and the strut weld is
vital.
- Proper Tire Inflation is Vital
- All vehicles of all makes and models require routine maintenance.

55
|
- Grease is supplied when required.
- Apply only to the bush surfaces designed to pivot (flange faces and
internal bores).
- Ensure all paint, rust and rubber deposits are removed from all
components in contact with bushes and are clean.
|
|
56
|
|
|
57
|
|
|
58
|
- DO NOT grease pressed fit surfaces or the outside surface load bearing
bush surface or control arm hole.
- DO NOT use any lubricant other than the packages supplied by Pedders.

|
- Grease is supplied when required.
- Apply sparingly only to the bush surfaces designed to pivot (flange
faces and internal bores).
- Ensure all paint, rust and rubber deposits are removed from all
components in contact with bushes and are clean.
|
|
62
|
- Prepare the control arm holes as you would for a urethane bush.
- Use dishwashing liquid detergent for lubricant.
- NEVER use a petroleum based lubricant for interference fit bushes.

|
- Negative pulls the top of the wheel in
- Positive pushes the top of the wheel out
- Negative Camber is desirable for Autocross and Road Course use
|
|
65
|
- When the wheel is behind the pivot at the point where it contacts the
ground, it is in positive caster.
- Picture yourself trying to push the cart and keep the wheel ahead of the
pivot. The wheel will continually try to turn from straight ahead. That
is what happens when a car has the caster set too far negative.
|
|
66
|
- Toe-in means that the fronts of the tires are closer to each other than
the rears.
- Toe-out is just the opposite.
|
|
67
|
- SAI is the measurement in degrees of the steering pivot line when viewed
from the front of the vehicle. This angle, when added to the camber to
form the included angle causes the vehicle to lift slightly when you
turn the wheel away from a straight ahead position.
|
|
68
|
- Thrust Angle is the direction that the rear wheels are pointing in
relation to the center line of the vehicle. If the thrust angle is not
zero, then the vehicle will "dog track" and the steering wheel
will not be centered.
