Great video thanks. Just thinking about the 1mm toe-in specification for the front wheels. Has this value been set to account for the fact that it is only practical to place the straight edge across the top of the wheel? If it was feasible to do the measurement across the full diameter would the toe-in specification be say 2mm?
Having a slight toe in means the trailer will drive a lot straighter and will be less likely to wander on the road, as both front tyres are pushing inward to each other so they stabilize the trailer
Where do I purchase these bolts and adjustment ring? I'm currently rebuilding a 2011 southern cross 4wd trailer with your independent suspension needing a complete rebuild. Where can I also purchase brackets to convert to twin shock and upper support for spring? Interested in replacing all bolts, bushes, shocks and springs but can find parts like the camber ring or replacement mounts for shocks
@@CRUISEMASTERCOUNTRY Great thanks for the reply. Whilst I probably will not do adjustments myself, I can measure periodically to see if it is out or not. Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for creating this video! This will help us Cruisemaster owners keep our trailers in top shape! Question, how often should we check our alignment on our Cruisemaster suspension?
Good to hear from you! we suggest every 10,000Km's (6213.712 Miles) which is in line with our regular service intervals. Otherwise just like a car if you take a trip on tough terrain which is more likely to knock out alignment its probably worth a quick check to confirm alignment and avoid any negative effects.
Things like wheel alignments and tire pressures are a couple of easy DIY checks you can do to help eliminate the cause of ride quality issues. Most commonly though sway is due to weight distribution of the caravan, so you want to make sure a majority of weight is over the axles.
The shaft of the bolts themselves are round. Its how the step in the cam adjuster interacts with the locking plates on the hinges that generate the adjustment.
Thanks Guys. Awesome video. Will be doing mine tomorrow.
Very Very Good Guys.

Great video guys, well done. Why is the front or single axle set at 1 degree toe in and what would be the effect of setting parallel 0 degrees?

Do you have video for single
Great video thank you! Are the toe in/out and camber going to be different for a single axle?
Cheers, glad you found it helpful! Single axle is treated the same as the front axle on a tandem so slight toe-in.

We live in echuca , Victoria we have a kedron caravan with cruise master 4000 , where could I get a wheel alignment

Hi Andrew , will a new caravan in need of a wheel alignment cause it to sway?
Things like wheel alignments and tire pressures are a couple of easy DIY checks you can do to help eliminate the cause of ride quality issues. Most commonly though sway is due to weight distribution of the caravan, so you want to make sure a majority of weight is over the axles.
I see in the video you have 1mm toe in on the front wheels. Do you set the rear wheels at 0º & the camber at 90º
correct
The camber and caster bolts are oval?
The shaft of the bolts themselves are round. Its how the step in the cam adjuster interacts with the locking plates on the hinges that generate the adjustment.
You should mention that the van should be on level ground or your camber will not be correct
They did, at 1m 28sec
Good video...unfortunately, the music was a big distraction. I went to CC mode and silenced the sound.
A good way to get revenge for that is to produce a better product yourself and upload it
