Front Wheel Alignment
Front Wheel AlignmentFRONT CAMBER AND CASTER, ADJUSTMENT
The front axle provides for combined camber and caster adjustment. Both wheel adjustments can be made together. Adjustments are made by means of eccentric bolts at the lower control arm bearing and brake support ball pin supporting joint. To adjust eccentric bolt on lower control arm bearing, loosen hex nut, then tighten hex nut while applying counter hold to eccentric bolt.
When increasing camber on eccentric bolt, caster will also increase. When decreasing camber, caster will also decrease.
To adjust supporting joint ball pin, loosen clamp and turn ball pin in supporting tube (ball pin is righthand threaded). Turning outward will increase caster, turning outward will decrease caster. When increasing caster, camber will decrease, when decreasing caster, camber will increase.
TOE-IN, ADJUSTMENT
Toe-in is the difference between the distance of the front end of the front wheels to the rear wheels measured at the rim flanges.
The elastic support of the control arms requires a higher toe-in value, which is reduced to the correct size when driving. When measuring toe-in , spread wheels apart using a suitable wheel spreading tool. This will eliminate any elasticity in steering linkage. Adjust toe-in to specifications.
