If steering angles differ from the standard specifi-
cations, check to see if the lengths of the left and
right tie rods are the same.
HINT: If the tie rod lengths are not equal, the steer-
ing angle cannot be adjusted properly.
If the tie rod lengths were changed to adjust the
wheel angle, reinspect the toe±in.
HINT: Camber is not adjustable, if measurement is not
within specification, inspect and replace the suspen-
sion parts.
6. CHECK STEERING AXIS INCLINATION
Steering axis inclination:
Steering axis inclination is not adjustable,if measure-
ment is not within specification, inspect and replace
the suspension parts.
7. CHECK CASTER
Caster:
If caster is not within specification, adjust by in-
creasing or decreasing the spacers. (See page
