FRONT CAMBER ADJUSTMENT





1. Loosen the lower control arm cam bolt nuts.
2. Rotate the cam bolts to the required camber specification setting. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications.

3. Maintain the camber setting while tightening the cam bolt nuts.

NOTICE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

6. To obtain additional negative camber beyond cam adjustment capability, remove the washers from the front and rear upper control arm legs.
Check the clearance between the upper control arm and the shock absorber in full rebound, if the shims are removed from the upper control arm.

IMPORTANT: The upper control arm shims will have an effect on the camber and the caster. Adding or subtracting shims will change the negative and positive camber and caster settings. Make sure to use an equal thickness of shims on both sides of each individual upper control arm leg.
