Before attempting to check or adjust wheel alignment, make sure tires are properly inflated. Refer to manufacturers specifications given in owner's manual.

 CASTER

All Models - Caster angle is not adjustable, if caster angle is not to specifications, inspect suspension system for wear or damage and repair or replace components as necessary.

To adjust, raise vehicle and support chassis on jack stands. Loosen nuts securing lower control arm bracket to chassis. Add shims equally to increase camber angle. After each adjustment is made, tighten bracket-to-chassis bolts, remove jack stands and measure camber angle.
