General information
The longitudinal inclination of the kingpin is set by the manufacturer. Changing its value can be achieved by changing the camber.
Adjustment
Loosen eccentric bolt 1 on strut 2 and adjust camber by turning eccentric bolt 1 (see fig.7.22). If the kingpin cannot be adjusted and/or is not within specification, inspect the steering and suspension arms, steering knuckle and body for damage and excessive wear on the ball joints and guides. The values of the angles of the longitudinal inclination of the kingpin and the camber of the front wheels are given in tables 7.2a-d and 7.3.
