Camber and Caster

CAMBER AND CASTER

Components:








1. Measure camber and caster of both the right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and adjust as necessary to specification.
Camber and caster: Refer to "Wheel Alignment (Unladen*). [1][2]Front Suspension

NOTE: Some vehicles may be equipped with straight (non-adjustable) lower link bolts and washers. In order to adjust camber and caster on these vehicles, first replace the lower link bolts and washers with adjustable (cam) bolts and washers.








2. If outside of the specified value, adjust camber and caster using the cam bolts (1) in the front lower link (2).

CAUTION: After adjusting the camber and caster check the toe-in.

NOTE: Camber changes about 3' (0.05°) with each graduation of one cam bolt. Refer to table for examples of lower link cam bolt effect on camber and caster.

3. Tighten the adjusting bolt nuts to specification. Refer to "Components".
