Camber Adjustment - Rear
1. Index-mark the upper arm inboard bolt to the frame.





2. NOTE: The upper arm inboard flagnut must be removed and replaced with a non-flagnut to allow for the adjustment of the arm in the frame slot.

Remove and discard the upper arm inboard bolt and flagnut.
^ Install a new non-flagnut.





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

4. NOTE: The weight of the vehicle must be off of the wheels in order to adjust the rear camber.

NOTE: For camber adjustment, 1 mm (0.03 inch) of movement equals 0.24 degrees of camber.

NOTE: To decrease the camber, move the upper arm inward. To increase the camber, move the upper arm outward.

Position the upper arm until the camber setting is within specification.





5. NOTE: Make sure that the camber settings are not disturbed while tightening the nut.

Tighten the upper arm inboard nut to 250 Nm (185 lb-ft).
6. Recheck the camber settings and adjust as necessary.
7. Check and, if necessary, adjust the rear toe.
