Camber and Caster Adjustment




Camber and Caster Adjustment

1. NOTE: The upper arm-to-frame mounting bolts have set shims that must be replaced with washers (W-705040-S900) to allow for adjustment of the arm in the frame slot.

Index-mark the upper arm-to-frame bolts, then remove and discard the upper arm-to-frame nuts and set shims.

2. Align the index marks and install the new washers and new nuts.
- Tighten the nuts until snug.

3. Using alignment equipment and the manufacturer's instructions, measure the caster and camber.

4. NOTE: The vehicle should be supported by the lower arms to ease movement of the upper arm in the slot.

To adjust the caster and camber refer to the following chart.

- When making adjustments that require moving both the front and the rear of the upper arm, move both ends of the arm equally.









5. Tighten the upper arm-to-frame bolts to 133 Nm (98 lb-ft).

6. Recheck the caster and camber settings and adjust as necessary.

7. Check and, if necessary, adjust the front toe. For additional information, refer to Toe Adjustment Toe Adjustment.
