The adjustment for both caster and
camber is made through the
adjustable rod ends on the upper
A-arms. Moving both rod ends out
increases positive camber.
To adjust caster, move the forward
rod end out further than the rear.
This increases positive caster.
Adjust the upper A-arm rod ends until
you have the camber set at zero, or
90 degrees on the digital level and
the caster set at 1 to 5 degrees
positive. Both sides must be the
same. Remember, if your car has a
forward rake when sitting on the
ground the positive caster will be
decreased by the angle of the bodies
rake. Three degrees of positive
caster with the body level will only be
1 degree of positive caster with a 2
degree body rake. Adjust one rod
end at a time one-half turn until you
have the correct setting. Repeat for
the passenger side before going to
the next step.
The next step is setting the toe-in.
Cut two pieces of 3/4 inch tubing or
electrical conduit, 26 inches long.
Drill a 3/8-inch hole through each
tube 9 inches from one end. These
tubes will assist in setting the toe-in.
Bolt the tube to the upper caliper-
mounting boss with the long end to
the front of the car. The 26-inch
length simulates the tire diameter and
drilling the hole 9 inches from the end
centers the bar over the spindle.
