How do you adjust caster?
One way to adjust caster is with an adjustable arm. In the case of a MacPherson strut system this can be in the form of an adjustable tension rod that holds the lower arm forwards or backwards in the wheel arch. The screw can be adjusted to move the wheel forwards or backwards adjusting the caster angle.
Is rear toe-in adjustable?
Toe-in or toe-out – the amount by which the wheels are closer or further apart at their front edges than at their rear edges – is adjustable on all cars. The setting can go wrong because of an incorrect adjustment, or through driving hard on to a kerb.
Is the camber adjustable?
Camber plates use an adjustable top mount which relocates upper shock mount to a retainer plate which slides laterally on a grooved track. Because the strut attaches directly to the hub, adjusting camber from the top mount is possible. Simply slide the adjuster toward the center of the car for increased camber or outward for less.
