Caster Adjustment

Caster Adjustment

Caution:
^ Adjust the caster after adjusting the camber.


Note:
^ The camber and caster change largely if the front cam is adjusted due to the suspension construction. If the rear cam is adjusted, the caster largely, however, the camber barely changes. Therefore, adjust the camber (front cam) and then the caster (rear cam) to adjust the alignment efficiently





1. Loosen the installation nut of the adjusting cam bolt (front lower arm rear side).





2. Rotate the adjusting cam bolt in either direction to adjust the caster.

Standard Suspension:




Sport Suspension:






* : from the end of the front fender to the center of the wheel (mm{in})





Note: Refer to the following figure for the adjusting amount per one graduation.





3. Tighten the nut.
Tightening torque 117.7-137.3 N-m (12.1-14.0 kgf-m, 86.9-101.2 ft-lbf)
4. Adjust the camber and total toe-in.
