When adjusting, a diagram must be used as an aid. Without a diagram, the labor intensity of adjustment work increases.
Before measuring, place the front wheels in a straight direction.
On eccentric bolts, an eccentric washer is installed on the bolt head, and a second eccentric washer is fixed in a groove on the threaded end of the bolt.
When adjusting, loosen the nut. When tightening the nut, hold the head of the eccentric bolt from turning. The tightening torque of the fastening nut is 120 Nm.
When adjusting the camber by rotating the eccentric in the positive direction, the longitudinal angle of the steering axis also changes in the positive direction; when adjusting in the negative direction, the caster angle of the steering axis changes in the negative direction. For example, changing the camber in the positive direction by 0°10' by rotating the front eccentric bolt changes the caster angle in the positive direction by 0°10'. Similar changes occur when changing in the negative direction. Changing the camber by 0°10' in the positive direction gives a caster angle change of 0°30' in the negative direction. Changing the camber from 0°10' gives a caster angle change of 0°30' in the positive direction.
Optical instruments must be used to measure camber and caster angle. Only temporarily can small angles be measured using a mechanical device.
