2. Install the washers and the adjusting nuts.





3. To increase caster and camber, use the following steps.
(1) To increase caster move the front of the front suspension upper arm outboard and move the rear of the front suspension upper arm inboard.
(2) To increase camber, move the front suspension upper arm outboard equally.

NOTE: A pry bar can be used between the front suspension upper arm and the frame pocket to aid in moving the arm.





4. To decrease caster and camber, use the following steps.
(1) To decrease caster, move the front of the front suspension upper arm inboard and move the rear of the front suspension upper arm outboard.
(2) To decrease camber, move the front suspension upper arm inboard equally.

5. Set the caster and camber to specifications.
- If a caster increase of 1.2 degrees is required, move the front of the front suspension upper arm outboard by 3 notches and move the rear of the front suspension upper arm inboard by 3 notches, since one notch represents 0.4 degree.

NOTE: Each increment of the notches on the frame pocket represents 0.4 degree.





6. Tighten the upper suspension arm nuts.
