Gene,

I have a pair of those straight edges that I always bring to the work rallies. What I have found is if you get the pair of wheel hubs bent back in line so they are in a perfectly straight line, that is all usually need to do you. I do have a camber / caster gauge that mounts on the wheels. I have measured a couple of them for both toe (all the way across the coach with a tape measure) to see if the left and right pairs are parallel and they always have been correct once we did the straight edge thing. The camber has also been very close to 0. There has never been the need to change the shims on the bogie to frame mounting on the ones we have done. If you think about it, there is no reason for that relationship (Bogie mount to frame) to change unless someone has had the bogie assembly off of the coach.

I have only done a few of them. So my experience is limited.
