32 00... Additional Work For Camber Correction

IMPORTANT: Changes in axle geometry caused by accidents must under no circumstances be rectified by camber adjustment!
NOTE: The upper control arm may only be replaced if the camber is outside the specified tolerance after toe adjustment.

Adjust toe-in.  See 32 00 601 ADJUSTING TOE-IN ON FRONT AXLE .

Check camber values; if necessary, replace upper control arm  with over-or under dimension variant. See 31 12 002 REMOVING AND INSTALLING/REPLACING TOP LEFT CONTROL ARM or 31 12 003 REMOVING AND INSTALLING/REPLACING TOP RIGHT CONTROL ARM .

NOTE: Control arms with + or - marking (see Fig 1) are camber correction arms:
- Under dimension variant
+ Over dimension variant

These camber correction arms are used to correct the camber values by 30 minutes. To be used only if the tolerance values are exceeded or undershot!
