8. Remove the nuts and the alignment plate.

-
Remove any burrs.
-
Clean and paint any exposed metal.
10. Position the alignment plate. Loosely install the nuts.
11. Adjust the camber and caster.
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.
-
Do not sweep past the prescribed angle and come back to it; this will produce larger caster values.
-
When using alignment equipment designed to measure caster on both the RH and LH sides, turning only one wheel will result in a significant
error in the caster angle for the opposite side.
12. Tighten the nuts.
