2000 Durango Alignment Specs
Produced by Dodge, Durango is a full-sized sport utility vehicle (SUV). It can be equipped with several different Hemi engines. The two powerhouse V-8 engines used in Durango vehicles are the 5.7-liter and the 5.9-liter engine. All Durango SUVs require periodic adjustment, often erred to as "alignment." The factory specifications for the alignment are the same for all 2000 Durango models.
Caster
Caster is both the rearward and the forward tilt of the steering knuckle from the true vertical. Caster is the measurement in angles that is responsible for directional stability. The Durango caster angle should be the same on both left and right wheels. The angle must be +3.10 degrees with the maximum allowable difference of 0.50 degrees on the two-wheel drive (2WD) model and +3.30 degrees with the measuring accuracy of 0.50 on the four-wheel drive (4WD) model.
Camber
Measured in degrees, camber is the outward or inward tilt of the wheel in relation to the center of the vehicle. The Durango camber angle should be the same on both left and right wheels. Camber angles must be -0.25 degrees with the measuring accuracy of 0.50 degrees both for the 2WD and 4WD models.
Toe
Toe is the difference between the leading and trailing inside edges of the front wheels. Total angles on the 2WD and 4WD models must be +0.10 degrees with measuring range of 0.06 degrees.
