Camber

CAMBER
Camber is the tilting of the front wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle. When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is "Positive" (+). When the wheels tilt inward at the top, the camber is "Negative" (-). The amount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical. Camber setting will influence directional control and tire wear.

INSPECTION (CAMBER)
1. Position the vehicle so that the front wheel is on the turning-radius gauge.
2. Remove wheel cover.





3. Attach the standard camber gauge to the hub and measure the camber.

Camber:
0.39° ± 0.5° (No Passenger Load)
(2 Passenger Load)

ADJUSTMENT (CAMBER)
1. Turn the front spindle clockwise so that the number "1" mark is aligned with the vertical line on the spindle bracket.





2. Turn the rear spindle clockwise so that the number "1 " mark is aligned with the vertical line on the spindle bracket.

Each numerical point indicated on the spindle increases the camber by 0.18 degrees when turned to the vertical line on the spindle bracket.
