CAMBER. CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION

Before checking camber, caster or kingpin inclination, move vehicle up and down on turning radius gauge to minimize friction. Ensure that the vehicle is
in correct posture.

Measure camber, caster and kingpin inclination of both right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and adjust in accordance with the following
procedures.

Camber, Caster and Kingpin inclination

In the following two cases, temporarily tighten the adjusting bolts while aligning the matching marks with the slits as shown in the figure at the right and
measure the camber, caster and kingpin inclination:

When replacing the upper link or other suspension parts with new ones

When matching marks were not painted on adjusting bolts before suspension disassembly procedures

If matching marks were already painted during suspension disassembly, align the matching marks with the slits, then temporarily tighten the adjusting
bolts. Measure the camber, caster and kingpin inclination.
