First, check and record the camber andcaster readings, they will be adjusted later.The caliper-mounting bosses aremachined perpendicular to the spindle sothey are an excellent place for the level.To check the camber, hold the levelagainst the machined caliper mountingpads on the spindle. Record the reading.Next, check the caster by installing the3/8-16 x 1 3/8” caliper mounting sockethead allens (supplied in your brake kit) intothe threaded bosses on the spindle.Set the digital level against the calipermounting bolts. Record the casterreading. Positive caster is when thespindle top is tipped toward the rear of thecar when viewed from the side.We will now fine tune the camber andcaster settings.917703 Page 27
The adjustment for both caster andcamber is made through theadjustable rod ends on the upperA-arms. Moving both rod ends outincreases positive camber.To adjust caster, move the forwardrod end out further than the rear.This increases positive caster.Adjust the upper A-arm rod ends untilyou have the camber set at zero, or90 degrees on the digital level andthe caster set at 1 to 5 degreespositive. Both sides must be thesame. Remember, if your car has aforward rake when sitting on theground the positive caster will bedecreased by the angle of the bodiesrake. Three degrees of positivecaster with the body level will only be1 degree of positive caster with a 2degree body rake. Adjust one rodend at a time one-half turn until youhave the correct setting. Repeat forthe passenger side before going tothe next step.The next step is setting the toe-in.Cut two pieces of 3/4 inch tubing orelectrical conduit, 26 inches long.Drill a 3/8-inch hole through eachtube 9 inches from one end. Thesetubes will assist in setting the toe-in.Bolt the tube to the upper calipermountingboss with the long end tothe front of the car. The 26-inchlength simulates the tire diameter anddrilling the hole 9 inches from the endcenters the bar over the spindle.Page 28 917703
