Front Axle Camber, Checking and Adjusting

Front Axle Camber, Checking and Adjusting

• Camber cannot be adjusted.

• Camber can be centered evenly within specified tolerance range by shifting subframe.

- Remove the noise insulation.

• The tunnel crossmember must be loosened before adjusting the camber.

• The tunnel crossmember must be loosened to prevent the transmission mount from being stressed.

Depending on the engine version, the subframe shield must be loosened in order to be able to mount the plastic coated tire iron for moving the subframe.

- Remove the bolts - arrows -.

- Using a plastic-coated tire iron, slide the subframe with the engine mount and stabilizer bar in the appropriate location.

Push in the center of the subframe near the lower control arm between the subframe and the body longitudinal member.






If you do not have a plastic-coated tire iron, wrap a standard tire iron in adhesive tape.

- The vehicle must be bounced several times at the front axle before checking the camber values.


Do not damage any parts!
