Alignment: Description and Operation

Suspension System

The front camber and caster are adjusted by loosening the upper control arm bolts which will allow the upper arm to be moved in the slotted frame holes.
The LF caster can be adjusted by loosening the lower control arm rearward nut to allow the lower arm to be moved in the slotted frame hole. Front toe is
adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie rods. The rear camber is adjusted by replacing the upper arm inboard flagnut with a non-flagnut to
allow the arm to be adjusted in the slotted frame holes. The rear toe is adjusted through the use of the rear toe link cam bolt.

Camber

Negative and Positive Camber

Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive or negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.

Caster

Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when viewed from the side. The caster specifications will give the
vehicle the best directional stability characteristics when loaded and driven. The caster setting is not related to tire wear.

Toe

Positive Toe (Toe In)

Negative Toe (Toe Out)
