Hi Mike,
Yup, that should read camber instead of caster. Sharp eyed Ken H. spotted that one a few days ago along with a number of other suggestions, all of which I incorporated into a new release 0.6 beta that is currently on the web site. I will integrate any other suggested changes with direct feedback from the user group at SOOR into a full release 1.0. We should be good to go at that point. Thanks for the nice comments about the quality of the work. I feel strongly that proper alignment is critical to the safe and comfortable handling of our coaches but a proper alignment is not always what comes out of a professional alignment shop for lots of the reasons cited in the paper. Hence, all of our clubs need to have an alignment measuring kit that is easy for any owner to use anywhere there is a flat, paved spot to work on. Hopefully with these instructions club members will build and donate a kit to their preferred GMC club so everyone will have access. As I have stated befor
e, I will build these kits here for $400 plus shipping but would much prefer to see members volunteer to build and donate the kit to their club as part of giving back to their GMC community.

Jerry,
I have finally had a chance to look at it.... excellent work. (But you always do good work. So we shouldn't be surprised.)
But one typo jumped out and smacked me...
On the bottom of page 3: "At the rear we need to make sure all four bogie wheels are running parallel with the frame and that all have about one degree of negative caster when the coach is settled in at proper ride height."
Shouldn't that be "one degree of negative camber" ???
Just a typo that isn't really in the instruction part of the document. But it did smack me.
