ADJUSTMENTS
Note. Before performing wheel alignment, perform preliminary visual and mechanical inspection of wheels, tires and suspension components. See PRE-ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS in the WHEEL ALIGNMENT THEORY/OPERATION article in the GENERAL INFORMATION section.
CAMBER ADJUSTMENT
Camber is factory preset and cannot be adjusted. If camber is not within specification, replace or repair bent or broken parts as necessary. See ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS .
CASTER ADJUSTMENT
Caster is factory set and cannot be adjusted. If caster is not to specification, replace or repair damaged, bent or broken parts as necessary. See ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS .
TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT
With steering wheel centered, loosen tie rod end lock nuts. While holding steering rod dust boots stationary, rotate tie rods to obtain specified toe-in. (Scheme 1) See ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. Tighten lock nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
