Wheel Alignment Specifications & Adjustments: RENAULT: Adjustment: Caster
Vehicle riding height must be calculated before adjusting caster. Caster angle corresponds to the difference in front and rear riding heights between "H2 " and "H5 " as shown in Figure . After calculating the difference, refer to Caster Angle table for correct caster angle. To adjust caster angle, loosen both lower control arm mounting bolts and add or remove shims to adjust caster to specifications. The addition or removal of 1 shim equals about 1° change in caster angle.
NOTE:
Never use more than 2 shims between bushing and side member. Always check steering box height after caster adjustment.
