- Slide subframe far enough until camber is equal on both sides.
- Check caster angle.

Caster angle may be changed by sliding subframe!

Subframe to body bolt position - 1 - Use new bolts! 100 Nm plus an additional 90° (1/4 turn)
Subframe to body bolt position - 2 - Use new bolts! 100 Nm plus an additional 90° (1/4 turn)
