Camber Adjustment 6.15 - Polaris 2003 Pro X Service Manual

Camber Adjustment
1. Determine which spindle requires the greatest
amount of correction by installing the alignment
bar through one side to the opposite spindle.
Remove the bar and install it through the other
side to the opposite spindle. Measure from the
top of the bar to the top of the hole. Turn the upper
and lower radius rods (like a turn buckle) to
achieve the appropriate camber width.
NOTE: Camber / Width / and Centering are
dimensions that depend on each other. Each one
should be checked after any changes.
2. Using a 3/8 (1 cm) drive 11/16 (1.7 cm) crow foot
wrench and 20 (51 cm) long 3/8 (1 cm) drive
extension, loosen the radius rod end jam nut.
Remove the lower radius rod bolt from the spindle
requiring the most camber correction. Adjust the
opposite side next.
3. To adjust camber, change lower radius rod length
until alignment bar measurement is within
specified range for each spindle. Refer to charts
on page 6.15 for camber specifications.
models with neutral camber (0) the bar should
slide freely through both spindles ( tolerance).
CAUTION:
Radius rod ends must remain parallel to the bulkhead
after rod end jam nuts are tightened to specified
torque. See illustration at right.
4. Tighten all jam nuts. Torque radius rod attaching
bolts to specification.
WARNING
After camber adjustment is complete, be sure to measure set up width outlined on page 6.16 and compare to speci-
fications. Do not attempt to set suspension wider than the specified maximum set up width. If set up width exceeds
maximum, adjust upper and lower radius rods equally to maintain camber adjustment.
