Caster is controlled by length of lower control arm-to-frame strut rod. Adjustment is accomplished by loosening lock nuts at both ends of strut rod tube and turning tube to lengthen or shorten it.

NOTE: Strut rod is threaded with right and left hand threads to allow length adjustment. To  increase caster, lengthen strut rod. To decrease caster, shorten strut rod. Tighten strut rod lock nuts.
