ADJUSTMENTS
Note. Prior to performing wheel alignment, perform visual and mechanical inspection of wheels, tires and suspension components. See PRE-ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS in WHEEL ALIGNMENT THEORY & OPERATION article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
CAMBER & CASTER ADJUSTMENT
Note. Some models are equipped with square (non-adjustable) camber/caster adjustment plates. To adjust caster/camber, install eccentric cam kit if camber or caster adjustment is necessary.
TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT
- Measure toe-in with front wheels straight-ahead, and steering wheel locked in centered position. Adjust toe-in by loosening clamps and adjusting sleeve to obtain correct specification. Maintain steering wheel in centered position.
- If steering wheel is not centered prior to wheel alignment, determine which wheel assembly is out of adjustment, and compensate that side to center steering wheel. Multiple attempts may be necessary to properly center steering wheel.
- When tightening clamps, ensure clamp bolts are positioned so there will be no interference with other parts throughout entire travel of steering linkage.
