Front Camber Adjustment

Front Camber Adjustment


Important: The camber can only be set within a very limited range by the measures described below.


1. Measure camber with computer-aided chassis alignment system.

Important: The relevant front wheel must be freely suspended.


2. Raise the vehicle at front.
3. Remove the 2 bolted connections (1), spring strut support tube to steering knuckle.




4. Make the 2 bolted connections (1), spring strut support tube to steering knuckle.

* Use the 2 new bolts.
* Install the 2 new nuts.

5. Pull the top of front wheel outwards (arrow) and adjust maximum positive camber.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice (Fastener Notice) .


Important: Tighten with reduced torque to create clamping effect between spring strut and steering knuckle.


6. Tighten the 2 bolted connections, spring strut support tube to steering knuckle.

Tighten the bolted connections to 10 N.m (89 lb in).


Important: Camber changes in "negative" direction - move front wheel by hand if necessary.


7. Adjust the camber.

* Slowly lower the vehicle onto the wheels.
* Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications (Specifications) .
* When the specification has been achieved, tighten the 2 bolted connections, spring strut support tube to steering knuckle in 3 stages.

* Tighten the 2 bolted connections 50 N.m (37 lb ft).
* Tighten the 2 new screwed joint 85 N.m (63 lb ft).
* Continue to tighten the 2 new screw connection 75 degrees plus 15 degrees.



8. Rock the vehicle several times.




9. Inspect the camber setting again.
