Camber, Caster and Toe Adjustment

CAMBER, CASTER AND TOE ADJUSTMENT





Camber and caster angle adjustments involve changing the position of the lower suspension arm cam bolts (3).

CASTER

Moving the rear position of the cam bolt in or out, will change the caster angle significantly and camber angle only slightly. To maintain the camber angle while adjusting caster, move the rear cam bolt in or out. Then move the front cam bolt slightly in the opposite direction.

To increase positive caster angle, move the rear position cam bolt outward (from the engine). Move the front cam bolt inward (toward the engine) slightly until the specified camber angle is obtained.

CAMBER

Move the rear position cam bolt outward (from the engine). Move the forward position cam bolt inward (toward the engine).

After adjustment is made tighten the cam bolt nuts to proper torque specification.

TOE ADJUSTMENT





The wheel toe position adjustment is the final adjustment.

1. Start the engine and turn wheels both ways before straightening the wheels. Secure the steering wheel with the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
2. Turn off engine.
3. Loosen the tie rod jam nuts (1).

NOTE: Each front wheel should be adjusted for one-half of the total toe position specification. This will ensure the steering wheel will be centered when the wheels are positioned straight-ahead.

4. Adjust the wheel toe position by turning the tie rod as necessary.
5. Tighten the tie rod jam nut (1) to 75 Nm (55 ft. lbs.).
6. Verify the specifications.
