Camber Adjustment - Rear
NOTICE: Suspension fasteners are critical parts because they affect performance of vital components and systems and their failure may result
in major service expense. New parts must be installed with the same part numbers or equivalent part, if replacement is necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct
retention of these parts.
NOTE: To allow for rear camber adjustment, the upper arm is slotted at the upper arm-to-wheel knuckle joint. Rear camber is adjusted from the factory
with the wheel knuckle pushed inboard for maximum negative camber. If the camber is more negative than specification, the top of the wheel knuckle
should be positioned outboard to adjust the rear camber to the positive position.
1. Using alignment equipment and the manufacturer's instructions, measure the rear camber.
2. Loosen the upper arm-to-wheel knuckle nut.
3. Position the wheel knuckle outboard to adjust the rear camber to the positive camber position.
4. Tighten the upper arm-to-wheel knuckle nut to 200 Nm (148 lb-ft).
5. Recheck the rear camber and toe.
