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 tighten strut to steering knuckle retaining bolts. On 1989-90 models, Torque strut to steering knuckle retaining bolts to
135 ft. lbs. On 1991-92 models, Torque strut to steering knuckle attaching bolt to 133 ft. lbs.
