NOTE: See Personal Protection to make sure wearing proper PPE when performing the below procedure.

NOTE: The Model 3 and Model Y vehicles do not have dedicated adjustment points for camber and caster. Instead, camber and caster are adjusted by manipulating the suspension lash and slop. The real-world accuracy of these adjustments is achieved by installing 68 kg (150 lbs) ballast bags to simulate the presence of a driver and front passenger. Performing this service procedure without ballast bags compromises the real-world accuracy of the adjustments.

NOTE: If a four wheel alignment check has just indicated that a camber and/or caster adjustment is necessary, and the vehicle is still on the alignment rack, perform steps 7, 17, and 18, and then start at step 21. Otherwise, start at step 1.

Add this procedure to the Repair Order/Service Visit as a separate line item/activity.
