Introduction






Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide range of front wheel alignment settings. If the settings vary beyond tolerances, adjustments are needed.

As originally installed, the upper control arm cannot be adjusted for camber or caster. However, if the camber or caster is out of tolerance, the alignment can be reset to specifications by removing knockouts in the upper control arm frame brackets. Refer to upper control arm removal procedure.

Upon removal of control arm, remove the inserts out-board from the inside of the bracket with J 33794 knockout removal tool.

NOTE: Set the front wheel alignment to specifications while the vehicle is in its normally loaded condition. Vehicles which are consistently operated with heavy loads should have toe-in adjusted with the vehicle under heavy load. This procedure should result in longer tire life.
