  2. Install adjusting pin with the flat portion facing up.
  3. Turn the adjusting pin to adjust, Camber changes about 15' with each graduation of the adjusting pin. (Scheme 2)
  4. Tighten to the specified torque.

TOE-IN ALIGNMENT (PICKUP)

Adjust toe-in by varying the lenght of the steering tie-rods. Adjust toe-in by turning the left and right tie-rod tubes an equal amount. Make sure the tie-rods are screwed into the tie-rod tube more than 1.38" (35 mm).

Once adjusted, make sure that the tie-rods are the same lenght. (Scheme 5)
