3. Refer to the chart.
NOTE: The assembly plant sometimes builds vehicles with adjusters that are not zero-degree type to control alignment. The above chart shows
the alignment changes that will occur if the vehicle was originally built with zero-degree adjusters. Always check to see which adjuster has been
installed (and its orientation) before making changes.
4. Select a new service adjuster and its orientation in the axle to obtain the optimum caster/camber. Note that the caster change or camber change
required to obtain the optimum settings must be added to amounts of caster/camber in the old or production adjuster.
Use this example as a guide. If caster must be reduced 1.0 degree and camber increased +0.75 degree at the LH wheel and the existing adjuster has
+0.25 degree caster as installed, select the 1 degree service adjuster and orient the slot 225 degrees from the straight-ahead position. In all cases,
select the adjuster and orientation that will bring the alignment closest to the optimal settings.
5. Raise the vehicle and remove the front wheel.
6. Loosen the pinch bolt at the front suspension upper ball joint and pry the adjuster out of the axle with the blade of a screwdriver. If required, use
Pitman Arm Puller T64P-3590-F to remove the adjuster.
7. Install the new service adjuster. Orient the slot as specified in the chart above.
8. Tighten the pinch bolt to 67-88 Nm (50-65 ft. lbs.).
9. Install front wheel and lower the vehicle.
10. Check alignment. If not at optimal caster/camber setting, additional adjustment of the rotation of the adjuster may be required to obtain optimal
alignment settings.
11. Once optimal caster/camber has been achieved, reset front toe and clear vision to optimal settings.
