Alignment: Description and Operation

Wheel Alignment Angles 

Front toe is adjusted through the use of adjustable tie-rod ends. Front caster is adjusted by installing new upper control arms with offset bushings. The
upper arms can adjust caster angles ±0.4 degrees and have separate part numbers. Front camber is not adjustable on the vehicle. Rear toe is adjusted
through the use of adjustable toe links. Rear caster is not adjustable on the vehicle. Rear camber is adjusted through the use of a cam bolt that attaches
the rear lower control arm to the rear subframe.

Caster

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.
