Camber Adjustment (Front)

Before attempting any adjustments, see PRELIMINARY CHECKS  and WHEEL ALIGNMENT WORK SEQUENCE  .

Front wheel camber cannot be set separately. Camber can be evened out uniformly, by loosening subframe bolts and shifting subframe position until correct camber range is obtained.

Working under vehicle, remove sound-deadening pan. LOOSEN, but do not remove, subframe bolts No. 1-8. See Fig 1 . While observing wheel alignment computer, use a plastic coated pry bar to press subframe from side to side until specified value is reached. See Fig 2 . See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS  .

Tighten subframe bolts in the following order:

• No. 7 and No. 8: 81 ft. lbs. (110 N.m), plus an additional 90° turn
• No. 5 and No. 6: 81 ft. lbs. (110 N.m), plus an additional 90°
• Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 to 44 ft. lbs. (60 N.m)

After subframe bolts are torqued, recheck camber range. Readjust as necessary.
