Caster and Camber

^ Both camber and caster angles are adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of adjusting shims inserted between upper link spindle and frame.
^ Before removing or installing adjusting shim(s), be sure to place a jack under lower link. Adjusting shim standard thickness: 4.0 mm (0.157 inch)
^ Do not use four or more shims at one place.
^ When installing shim B. always face the pawl towards spindle and insert it from bracket side. Use only one shim B in a place.
^ Total thickness of shims must be within 8.0 mm (0.315 inch).
^ Difference of total thickness of the front and rear must be within 3.0 mm (0.118 inch).
^ Determine thickness and number of shims necessary for adjusting camber and caster, in accordance with the following graph.





[Example]
a. When service data value minus measured value is equal to:
Caster angle: -30'
Camber angle: +30'
b. Obtain the intersecting point of lines in accordance with the graph
c. Choose shims which are nearest to the intersecting point.
d. For the above example:
Add 1.0 mm (0.039 inch) shim on front side.
Add 3.0 mm (0.118 inch) shim on rear side.
