Front Camber Adjustment






REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the tire and the wheel.
3. Remove the strut from the vehicle. Refer to Strut, Strut Component and/or Spring Replacement in Front Suspension.
4. Place the strut in a vise and file the hole laterally (oblong).
5. Lower the strut-to-knuckle attaching hole for camber adjustment.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

1. Install the strut to the vehicle. Refer to Strut, Strut Component and/or Spring Replacement in Front Suspension.
2. Do not Tighten the strut-to-knuckle bolts in order to allow movement of the knuckle.
3. Install the tire and the wheel.
4. Adjust the camber.

Tighten the strut-to-knuckle bolts to 123 Nm (90 ft. lbs.).

5. Lower the vehicle.
