Suspension System

The front camber and caster are adjusted by loosening the upper control arm bolts which will allow the upper arm to be moved in the slotted frame holes. The LF caster can be adjusted by loosening the lower control arm rearward nut to allow the lower arm to be moved in the slotted frame hole. Front toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie rods. The rear camber is adjusted by replacing the upper arm inboard flagnut with a non-flagnut to allow the arm to be adjusted in the slotted frame holes. The rear toe is adjusted through the use of the rear toe link cam bolt.

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.
