Fig. 5 Ride height measurement points. 4WD models:

TRIM HEIGHT
Vehicle height is adjusted by means of the adjusting bolt on the height control arms.

1. Before adjusting trim height, check tire pressure and ensure vehicle is on level ground.
2. Loosen the nuts on the front strut bar.
3. Measure vehicle as shown in Fig. 4 and 5.
4. Subtract measurement (A) from measurement (B) to find vehicle ride height specification.
5. Adjust bolt as necessary.

Dimension "Z" = 2.05 inches

Caster Strut Bar:

CASTER
The caster angle can be adjusted by varying the length of the strut bar (adjust with lock nut).

Specification
- 1°35' (short wheel base)
- 1°50' (long wheel base)
- Lock Nut Torque=13.0 ft.lb.

NOTE:
- Left and right side to be equal within 35'
- Shims should not be used for adjustment.

Fig. 2 Camber angle adjustment:

CAMBER
The camber angle can be adjusted by means of the camber shims installed between the chassis frame and fulcrum pins.

Specifications:
- Camber angle=30'
- Kingpin inclination=10°
- Left and right side equal within 45'
- Overall thickness of camber shim pack shall be 10.8mm(0.425in.) or less.
- Fulcrum pin bolt torque=15.5ft/lb




NOTES:
- The camber angle DECREASES when shims are ADDED.
- The camber angle INCREASES when shims are REMOVED.







TOE-IN
To adjust toe-in angle, loosen locknut on the outer track rods and turn outer track rod the same number of degrees on both sides.

Specifications:
- Toe-in=2mm (0.08in.)
- Locknut Torque=10.0ft.lb.

MAXIMUM STEERING ANGLE
The maximum steering angle can be adjusted with the stopper bolts under the frame side members.

Specifications:
- Outside wheel=33°
- Inside wheel=37°

NOTE:
Maximum steering angles should be set after adjusting front wheel alignment.
