12. Using the Camber/Caster Service Adjuster table, determine the appropriate replacement service adjuster needed to correct alignment. There is
usually more than one combination of service adjuster and orientation that can be chosen to achieve alignment measurements within specifications.
If a compromise is required, choose the adjuster and orientation which optimizes the camber value and maximizes the caster value.
Example: continuing the above example,
-
Choose an adjuster with a 1 degree adjustment circle.
-
Set the adjuster to the 180 degree position to achieve a -1 degree camber and 0 degree caster shift setting.
NOTE: When selecting a replacement service adjuster to achieve the desired amount of camber and caster offsets, caution is required to make sure
that all other alignment characteristics (camber split, caster split and individual caster) are maintained to within their specified ranges. When in doubt
of which service adjuster to choose, make the selection which achieves measured results closest to the optimal targets in the following order of
priority:
-
Caster split
-
Individual camber
-
Camber split
-
Individual caster
13. Remove the nut from the upper ball joint.
-
Discard the nut.
14. Using the Steering Arm Remover, remove the 0 degree service adjusters and install the appropriate replacement service adjusters to the correct
rotational orientation specified in the Camber/Caster Service Adjuster table.
15. Tighten the lower ball joint nut to 59 Nm (44 lb-ft).
