The pinion angle of the front axle can be adjusted

by the use of adjustment cams in the lower suspen-

sion arms (Fig. 8). The primary function of the cams

is to adjust caster angle for alignment of the front

suspension. When using the cams to adjust pinion

angle, make sure that both cams are moved equally.

After pinion angle is adjusted, the front suspension

alignment should be checked to ensure that side-to-

side caster is with in acceptable range. Having the

correct pinion angle does have priority over having

the preferred caster angle.

A cam kit is available for the rear axle upper sus-

pension arms in order to provide adjustablity of the

pinion angle. Follow the procedures supplied with the

kit in order to ensure a safe installation.
