Caster and camber confusion

Recommended Posts

I'm restoring my '63 R1 and have the front suspension apart. The service manual shows how to set alignment, but I don't see how turning the eccentric pin can set both caster and camber. I also don't see why the hex adjuster on the pin has to be in the rear.  Please help set me straight.  Thanks, Ed

The outer pin is both threaded and eccentric.  Threaded moves fore and aft, adjusting caster.  The eccentric has only a half-turn effect on camber.  If more camber is needed, the inner pin is also eccentric and can be flipped 180-degrees to change camber.

FWIW, it always comes down to turning in as much positive caster as the adjustment will allow and then setting camber.
