Front Wheel Alignment Adjustment Procedure
NOTE:
• NSX/NSX-T four wheel alignment requires the use of
equipment designed specifically for four wheel in-
dependent suspensions and capable of immediate
feedback.
• The ride height is very important for setting the align-
ment. For every 10 mm (0.4 in) of change in the
front ride height, the camber will change approx-
imately 10 minutes.
• The front alignment settings on the NSX are
interactive.
• A slight change in toe will dramatically change the
camber.
• Always inspect and adjust the front wheel alignment
with the steering wheel in the straight ahead
position.
1. Drive the vehicle on the alignment rack.
2. Check the tire pressure and ride height (see page
18-6).
3. Center the steering wheel in the straight ahead
position, and lock it in place with the steering lock.
4. Set the alignment
manufacturer's instructions.
5. Measure and adjust the camber and toe on the left
side, then measure and adjust the right side.
Toe:
— Loosen the locknut, and turn the right and left
tie-rods to adjust the front toe.
