Your caster numbers are correct but your camber doesn't match mine. Camber
is -0.25º for all Dakotas except for the RT which is -0.34º. Also for the
caster and camber the variances are ±0.50º not %. You also show all
positive numbers for camber. All my numbers are negative.

I just looked in my '99 FSM and the numbers here are different from
yours, Ron. It looks like you combined 4wd caster with 2wd camber.
Would you mind double checking in your FSM to see it yours
matches mine. Whic are

4x4 cc (don't know if it's a sb or lb so ...) (all numbers in degrees)

                         Caster(+/- 1%) Camber(+/- 0.50%) Total
Toe(+/- 0.10%

Max Rt to Lt diff. 0.50 0.50
0.00

111.9 wb 3.16 0.38
0.10
123.9 wb 3.23 0.38
0.10
130.9 wb 3.27 0.38
0.10
