Front Wheel Alignment Adjusting Procedures: Notes

The NSX/NSX-T suspension can be adjusted for camber, caster (front only), and toe. However, because each of them relates to the other, the camber changes when the toe is adjusted for example. Therefore, the total adjustment of the front/rear wheel alignment is required whenever either one of the elements (i.e. camber, caster, or the toe) is adjusted.

1. Check tire pressure on both sides.
2. Check the ride height on both sides.
3. Measure and adjust both camber and toe of the left side.
4. Measure and adjust both camber and toe of the right side.
5. Adjust caster on both sides.
6. Measure and readjust both camber and toe of the left side.
7. Measure and readjust both camber and toe of the right side.

NSX/NSX-T four wheel alignment requires the use of equipment designed specifically for four wheel independent suspensions and capable of immediate feedback. The ride height is very important for setting the alignment. For every 10 mm of change in the front ride height, the camber will change approximately 10 degrees. The front alignment settings on the NSX/NSX-T are interactive. A slight change in toe will dramatically change the camber. Always inspect and adjust the front wheel alignment with the steering wheel in the straight ahead position. To adjust alignment use these following steps.

1. Drive the vehicle on the alignment rack.
2. Check the tire pressure and ride height. See TIRE PRESSURE & SIZE  table.
3. Center the steering wheel in the straight ahead position and lock it into place with the steering lock.
4. Set the alignment equipment following the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Measure and adjust the camber and toe on the left side, then measure and adjust the right side.
