If the caster and camber values are not within specification, go to the next step.
2. Remove and discard the lower arm front and rear nuts and bolts.

rear bushing), to allow for adjustment of the arm in the frame slot. The vehicle should be supported by the frame to ease movement of the lower
arm in the slot.
Install the cam bolt kit and loosely install the nut.

Adjustments that require moving the front and the rear of the lower arm should be made equally.
