Lebaron Coupe L4-135 2.2L SOHC Turbo VIN A FI (1989)
Fig. 7 Shim Installation For Positive Camber
Due to the design of the rear suspension and the incorporation of stub axles or wheel spindles, it is possible to adjust the camber and toe of the rear
wheels on these models. Adjustment is controlled by adding shims approximately 0.010 inch thick between the spindle mounting surface and spindle
mounting plate. The amount of adjustment is approximately 0.3° per shim. Proceed as follows:
1. Remove wheel and tire assembly.
2. Pry off grease cap, then remove cotter pin and castle lock.
3. Remove adjusting nut, then remove brake drum.
4. Loosen, but do not remove brake assembly and spindle mounting bolts enough to allow clearance for shim installation.
5. Proper placement of shims shown above.
6. Tighten the four brake support plate and spindle to axle mounting bolts until snug, torque bolts on all models except Imperial and Dynasty to 55
ft. lbs. and to 80 ft. lbs. on Dynasty and Imperial.
7. Install brake drum, then install washer and nut. Torque adjusting nut to 20-25 ft. lbs. while rotating wheel, then back off adjusting nut with wrench
to to completely release bearing preload. Finger tighten adjusting nut.
8. Position locknut with one pair of slots Inline with cotter pin hole, then install cotter pin. Endplay should be 0.001 to 0.003 inch.
