7.
Clean burrs from tower and alignment plate and paint exposed metal on front strut, shock tower and plate. Refer to Figure 4.
8.
Install alignment plate.
9.
Install three (3) front strut mount nuts, loosely.
NOTE:
CASTER MEASUREMENTS MUST BE MADE ON THE LH SIDE BY TURNING THE LEFT WHEEL THROUGH THE PRESCRIBED
ANGLE OF SWEEP, AND ON THE RH SIDE BY TURNING THE RIGHT WHEEL THROUGH THE PRESCRIBED ANGLE OF SWEEP.
NOTE:
DO NOT SWEEP PAST THE PRESCRIBED ANGLE AND COME BACK TO IT, AS THIS WILL PRODUCE LARGER CASTER VALUES.
WHEN USING ALIGNMENT EQUIPMENT DESIGNED TO MEASURE CASTER ON BOTH THE RH AND LH SIDES, TURNING ONLY
ONE (1) WHEEL WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT ERROR IN THE CASTER ANGLE FOR THE OPPOSITE SIDE.
10.
Make alignment-caster/camber adjustments.
11.
Tighten three (3) front strut mount nuts to 30-40 N.m (23-29 lb-ft).
