Camber Adjustment -Rear

NOTE: Air suspension vehicles must be at trim ride height prior to measuring or adjusting the rear camber or toe. For additional information, refer to VEHICLE DYNAMIC .
    NOTE: Support the vehicle at the lower arm to ease the wheel knuckle movement in the upper arm slot.
  1. Measure and record the LH rear and RH rear camber angles.
  2. Compare the recorded camber angles to the specifications. Refer to the ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS .
  3. Determine desired camber adjustment (subtract the specified camber angle from the measured camber angle).
  4. Remove the rear wheel. For additional information, refer to WHEELS & TIRES .
  5. Mark a scribe line on the upper arm-to-wheel knuckle bolt head and upper arm.
