Camber & Caster Adjustment Kit Installation

Fig. 3 Upper Control Arm Removal:




Fig. 4 Alignment Service Kit 15538596 Installation:






As originally installed, the upper control arm cannot be adjusted for camber or caster. However, if the camber or caster is measured and found to be out of specification, the camber and caster can be set to proper specifications using adjustment kit 15538596, or equivalent. To install, proceed as follows:
1. Raise and support vehicle and lower control arms, then remove nut (60), washer (61) and bolt (62) from upper control arm bracket (44). Discard nut, washer and bolt.
2. Remove large washers (40), Figs. 3 and 4, which are welded to the upper control arm frame brackets.
3. Remove weld beads from the upper control arm bracket. Grind area smooth.
4. Install adjusting cams (49) to bracket (44).
5. Install bolt (48) and nut (50).
6. Adjust camber and caster to specifications by rotating bolt head. Tighten nuts to specification. See Steering and Suspension/Tires, Wheels and Alignment/Specifications/Mechanical.
