Standard value:

.

CAMBER AND CASTER

Standard value:

Camber: 0

°00'± 30' (difference between right and left

wheels: within 30')

Caster: 3

°50'± 1° (difference between right and left

wheels: within 30')

If the standard value is not obtained, make adjustment by the
following procedure.

1. Adjust the camber and caster until they meets the standard

value by turning the lower arm camber adjusting bolt

2. After adjusting the camber, the toe should be adjusted.

Camber and caster reference table

.

How to read this table (example)
If the camber difference

−0°35' and the caster difference is

0

°18' by comparing the measurement value with the standard

value, rotate the front adjusting cam by 1.5 graduations and the
rear adjusting cam by 2.5 graduations to the opposite direction
against the "A" direction.
