Brief Description:  Wheel Alignment

GAM travelled to the Highlands once again today, thank you. We removed the left wheel & axle then installed one, factory supplied, tapered spacer, this increased its positive camber by about 2.5 degrees. The axles are now within 0.6 degrees of each other in camber. We re-measured the toe angles & confirmed the previous measurements - the left at 1.2 degrees toe IN & the right at 0.4 degrees toe OUT. "Grove Landing Gear Systems Inc." in California USA produces tapered shims that will fit the Matco axle bolt pattern albeit at an eye watering cost. I have ordered one 1/2 degree camber shim for the right side that will bring the axles within 0.1 degree in camber and 4 various toe shims for left & right that will bring both axles very close to zero toe (tail down). At the end of this process we should see the camber & toe angles matching within 0.1 degrees & both toe angles approx. 0.5 degrees OUT in the tail up attitude, decreasing to 0.0 toe tail down.
