Front Adjusting Procedure: Notes

The NSX/NSX-T suspension can be adjusted for camber, caster (front), and toe-in. However, because each of them relates to the other, the camber changes when the toe-in is adjusted for example. Therefore, the total adjustment of the front/rear wheel alignment is required whenever either one of the elements (i.e. camber, caster, or the toe-in) is adjusted.

NSX/NSX-T four wheel alignment requires the use of equipment designed specifically for four wheel independent suspensions and capable of immediate feedback. The ride height is very important for setting the alignment. For every 10 mm (0.4 in.) of change in the front ride height, the camber will change approximately 10 degrees. The front alignment settings on the NSX are interactive. A slight change in toe-in will dramatically change the camber. Always inspect and adjust the front wheel alignment with the steering wheel in the straight ahead position. To adjust alignment use these following steps.

1. Drive the vehicle on the alignment rack.
2. Check tire pressure on both sides. See PRELIMINARY INSPECTION  .
3. Check the riding height on both sides. See RIDING HEIGHT  .
4. Set the alignment equipment following the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Measure and adjust both camber and toe-in of the left side. See Fig 1 .
6. Center the steering wheel in the straight ahead position and lock it into place with the steering lock.
7. Measure and adjust both camber and toe-in of the right side.
8. Adjust caster on both sides.
9. Measure and readjust both camber and toe-in of the left side.
10. Measure and readjust both camber and toe-in of the right side.
