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 left
and measure the camber, caster and kingpin inclination:
a) When replacing the upper link or other suspension parts with new ones
b) 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.

Adjustment 

1. Both camber and caster angles are adjusted by adjusting bolts.

-

If the kingpin inclination is outside specifications, check the front suspension parts for wear or damage. Replace faulty parts with new ones.

2. From the measured value, read the coordinate (or: graduation) at the intersecting point in the graph.

a. If the coordinate (or: graduation) at the intersecting point is positive, move the pin outward by turning the corresponding adjusting bolt by the

indicated graduation.

b. If the coordinate (or: graduation) at the intersecting point is negative, move the pin inward by turning the corresponding adjusting bolt by the

indicated graduation.
After properly moving the pin(s), tighten the front and rear adjusting bolts to specifications.

3. Re-measure to ensure that the camber and caster are within specified tolerances.
