Notice: Always use the correct fastener In the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application.
The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that
require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other
corrosion Inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and system
-
Tighten the front lower control arm cam bolt nuts to 170 Nm (125 ft. lbs.).
4. Recheck the caster and camber settings after tightening. Readjust the caster and camber setting if necessary.
Important: The upper control arm shims will have an effect on the camber and the caster. Adding or subtracting shims will change the negative
and positive camber and caster settings. Make sure to use an equal thickness of shims on both sides of each individual upper control arm leg.
5. To obtain additional negative camber beyond cam adjustment capability, remove the shims (1) from the front and rear upper control arm legs.
-
Check the clearance between the upper control arm and the shock absorber in full rebound, if the shims are removed from the upper control
arm.
