Caster Adjustment

NOTE: Caster adjustment can effect camber and toe settings. The left caster bushing may have a centering washer that needs to be removed and discarded prior to adjustment.
  1. Loosen the nut and move the arm inward to decrease the caster and outward to increase the caster. See Fig 1 . See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS  .
  2. While holding the arm, tighten the nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Recheck the camber, caster and toe, and adjust as needed.
