Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

It is my standard procedure to loosen the locking nut and
remove the alignment bolts to apply the silicone grease
in order to prevent the oxidation resulting in seizure to
the bush metal collar.

Also, it is the courtesy to the alignment service personnel to
loosen all the locking nuts and check the movement of the
alignment adjusters because quite often,
the locking nuts are really seized and also you don’t want to
waste the time for both of us at the alignment platform or
arriving at the alignment place only to find that
you can’t move some of the adjusters.






RL toe control arm was OK but the locking nuts as well as the
adjuster at the RR side were really tight and seized.

Managed to make it move and I hope it won’t cause headache
at the time of alignment service.






It will be loosen again during the alignment session but
before going out for the test driving session,
torque the locking nut to the spec using the
monkey wrench style digital torque wrench.








RL camber adjuster. Very clean and no issues.







RR one.
Someone applied cupper grease so something was done in the past.
Cleaned it and applied silicone instead.








Front tie rod adjuster at both side were really tight.
Poor focus on this photo......

Camber bolts were fine.











And once again, both R & L caster adjusters were seized and
didn’t move at all.

In fact, the HEX hole at the FR side was already partially rounded so
someone tried it in the past.

Quite often, even the caster adjuster was seized,
it will come out close to the targeted figure so
will see how it goes.



Fire up the engine, press the brake hard several times to
reset the parking brake spindle, adjust the parking brake and
time to go out for the test driving session.

Almost ready to return this NSX to the owner.
