2.1. Disconnect the strut from the knuckle. Refer to Strut Assembly Replacement.
2.2. File the lower hole until the outer flange slot matches the inner flange slot.
2.3. Connect the strut to the knuckle. Refer to Strut Assembly Replacement.





3. Adjust the camber to specification by moving the top of the wheel in or out.

FRONT TOE ADJUSTMENT

2. Loosen the tie rod jam nut (5).
3. Adjust the toe to specification by turning the adjuster (6). Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications.
