Front Camber Adjustment
Fig. 1 Modifying strut bracket to adjust camber
Toe setting is the only adjustment normally required. However, in special circumstances, such as damage due to road hazard or collision, camber may be
adjusted by modifying the strut assembly.
1. Secure bottom of strut assembly in a suitable vise.
2. Enlarge bottom holes in outer flanges with a round file until holes in outer flanges match slots in inner flanges, Fig. 1.
3. Connect strut to steering knuckle and install bolts finger tight.
4. Grasp top of tire firmly, then move tire inboard or outboard until correct camber reading is obtained. Tighten retaining bolts enough to secure
camber setting.
5. Remove wheel and tire and torque strut to steering knuckle retaining bolts to 140 ft. lbs.
