FRONT CASTER ADJUSTMENT
1. Support the car by the wheels. Remove the three top strut mounting nuts (1) and washers (2).
NOTICE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners
requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion
inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
2. Set caster to specification by moving top of strut forward or rearward as required. The adjustment sensitivity is approximately 0.1 ° of caster per
millimeter moved.
