XJR (X300) L6-4.0L SC (AJ16) (1995)
Right side camber value 0.9°
Left side camber value 0.6°
0.9° - (-0.6°) = 0.3°
NOTE:
Always subtract the Left Side Camber value from the Right Side Camber value.
To use a calculator for the example above:
Enter the Right Side Camber value, 0.9. Change the value to a negative C-) number by pressing the [+/-] key).
Press the subtract key [-].
Enter the Left Side Camber value 0.6. Change the value to a negative (-) number by pressing the [+/-] key.
Complete the calculation by pressing the equal key [=].
Record the Camber Imbalance value -0.3 (include the sign, positive [+] or negative [-].
EXAMPLE 2 - CASTER IMBALANCE
Subtract the Left Side Caster from the Right Side Caster to give the Caster Imbalance. Right Side Caster - Left Side Caster = Caster Imbalance
Right Side Caster value +3.9°
Left Side Caster value +3.3°
+3.9° - +3.3° = +0.6°
NOTE:
Always subtract the Left Side Caster value from the Right Side Caster value
To use a calculator for the example above:
Enter the Right Side Caster value 3.9. The value is a positive number. Press the subtract key [-].
Enter the Left Side Caster value 3.3. The value is a positive number. Complete the calculation by pressing the equal key [=].
Record the Caster Imbalance value +0.6 (include the sign, positive [+1 or negative [-]).
EXAMPLE 3 - PULL INDEX
Subtract the Caster Imbalance from the Camber Imbalance. Multiply the result by 10 to give the Pull Index.
(Camber Imbalance - Caster Imbalance) x 10 = Pull Index
Camber Imbalance -0.3° Caster Imbalance +0.6°
(-0.3 - +0.6) x 10 = -9
NOTE:
Always subtract the Caster Imbalance value from the Camber Imbalance value first, then multiply the answer by 10.
To use a calculator for the example above:
Enter the Camber Imbalance value 0.3. Change the value to a negative (-) number by pressing the [+/-] key.
Press the subtract key [-].
Enter the Caster Imbalance value 0.6 The value is a positive number.
Multiply by 10 (press the [X] key), enter 10.
Complete the calculation by pressing the [=] key. Record the Pull Index.
ADJUSTMENT GUIDELINES
^
If the vehicle pulls to the right, change the caster setting(s) to make the pull index more negative. Do not exceed the limit given at the beginning of
