How to Adjust the Kingpin Inclination Angle?
1 Answers
The methods for adjusting the kingpin inclination angle are: 1. For vehicles with sliding plate front leaf springs, if component wear and deformation are within limits, adjust by adding wedge-shaped shims between the front leaf spring and its seat; 2. For vehicles with articulated front leaf springs, if component wear and deformation are within limits, the kingpin inclination angle cannot be adjusted; 3. For independent suspension front wheel alignment, the adjustment method depends on the structural type. In V-shaped independent suspensions, the kingpin inclination angle is adjusted by rotating the upper swing arm. The kingpin inclination angle is the turning center of the steering wheels when the vehicle turns, and it is a relatively thick pin shaft.
