Front Camber Adjustment

Front Camber Adjustment

Front Camber Adjustment:

1. If the front camber is not within the service allowable range, estimate how much you need to move the front camber. Select the appropriate combination of bolts in order to move the front camber to the specification. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications.

* In order to move the camber +/- 0.25 degree, use bolt (1) in the upper bolt position and bolt (2) in the lower bolt position.
* In order to move the camber +/- 0.50 degree, use bolt (1) in the upper bolt position and bolt (3) in the lower bolt position.
* In order to move the camber +/- 0.75 degree, use bolt (1) in the upper bolt position and bolt (4) in the lower bolt position.
* In order to move the camber +/- 1.00 degree, use bolt (2) in the upper bolt position and bolt (4) in the lower bolt position.
* In order to move the camber +/- 1.25 degree, use bolt (3) in the upper bolt position and bolt (4) in the lower bolt position.
* In order to move the camber +/- 1.50 degree, use bolt (4) in the upper bolt position and bolt (4) in the lower bolt position.

2. Raise and support the front of the vehicle with the alignment equipment. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
3. Remove the front tire and wheel assembly from the vehicle.




4. Remove the 2 nuts (3, 4) on the lower side of the strut.
5. If necessary, remove the old bolt from the upper bolt position (2) and install the new bolt.
6. If necessary, remove the old bolt from the lower bolt position (1) and install the new bolt.

Important: DO NOT fully tighten the nuts.

7. Temporarily install the 2 nuts.
8. Install the front tire and wheel assembly.

Important: The weight of the vehicle must be on the tires.

9. Lower the vehicle onto the alignment equipment.
10. Measure the alignment.




11. Push or pull on the top of the tire and wheel assembly in order to move the camber to the specification.
12. Verify the cross camber is within the specification.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice.

13. Tighten the nuts and the bolts in order to retain the strut to the knuckle.

Tighten the nuts and the bolts to 220 Nm (162.3 lb ft).

14. Measure the alignment.
15. Adjust the camber if necessary.
