Alignment: Service and Repair

Fig. 1 Wheel alignment specifications

CAMBER & CASTER ADJUSTMENT

1.

Position vehicle on suitable alignment fixture following manufacturer's instructions and check caster and camber angles. Refer to Fig. 1 for
specifications. Bumper should be bounced three times before inspection, to prevent incorrect reading.

2.

Camber and caster cannot be adjusted. Should either be found out of specification, locate the cause first.

3.

If improper alignment is caused by damaged, worn or loose suspension parts, they should be replaced. If vehicle body or chassis is damaged, it
should be repaired.

TOE ADJUSTMENT

1.

Loosen right and left tie rod end locknuts.

2.

Turn right and left tie rods by the same amount to align toe to specification. Right and left tie rods should become equal in length.

3.

After adjustment, tighten locknuts to a torque of 25.5-39.5 ft. lbs. and ensure rack boots are not twisted.

STEERING ANGLE

1.

When a tie rod or tie rod end is replaced, check toe and steering angle with turning radius gages. If steering angle is not correct, check right and
left tie rods for equal length.
