NOTE: Caster angle can be adjusted by increasing/decreasing the number if the adjusting shims. Remove and install the radius rod each time the caster angle is adjusted.
  1. Raise and support front of vehicle. Remove the self locking nut on the end of the radius rod. Remove the flange bolts at the radius rod on the lower arm, and remove the radius rod. Adjust the caster angle by increasing/decreasing the adjusting shims.
  2. Do not use more than 2 adjusting shims. One adjusting shim changes the caster angle by 35' and the caster angle can be adjusted by 1°10' maximum. One adjusting shim is .13" (3.2 mm) in thickness. After adjusting, install the radius rod onto the lower arm. Tighten radius rod flange bolts and self locking nut to specification.
