Adjustability
The 2017 Freightliner M2 106, like many medium-duty trucks, has varying degrees of adjustability for its alignment angles.
Front Axle:
- Camber: On the Freightliner M2 106, front camber is generally not adjustable from the factory without aftermarket solutions. If camber is outside the specified range, it often indicates worn components (e.g., kingpins, wheel bearings) or a bent axle housing. Some heavy-duty truck shops can bend the axle to correct camber, or camber correction bushings/shims may be used in certain kingpin designs.
- Caster: Front caster is typically adjustable on the Freightliner M2 106. Adjustment is usually made via eccentric bushings or shims at the spring hangers or torque rods. Proper caster is crucial for steering returnability and stability.
- Total Toe/Individual Toe: Front toe is fully adjustable on the M2 106. Adjustment is made by loosening the jam nuts on the tie rod ends and rotating the tie rods. This is the most common alignment adjustment done on commercial vehicles and is critical for tire wear.
- SAI (Steering Axis Inclination): SAI is not adjustable and is a "built-in" angle determined by the suspension
