Alignment: Service and Repair
Front Alignment

Adjustment

Camber & Toe Alignment

Caster and camber settings are determined by the location of vehicle's suspension components. No adjustment of caster and camber is possible after
vehicle is built or when servicing suspension components. Caster and camber are not normally considered an adjustable specification when performing
an alignment on this vehicle.

CASTER

If caster is not within specifications, check for damaged suspension components or body damage causing component locations to change.

NOTE: No adjustment is possible for caster.

CAMBER

1. Correctly position vehicle on alignment rack and install all required equipment, per alignment equipment specifications.
2. Center steering wheel and lock in place using steering wheel clamp.
3. Jounce vehicle, then read front alignment settings and compare to specifications.
4. If camber readings obtained are not within specifications, a Mopar Service Kit will be required.
5. Raise and support vehicle, then remove original upper bolt attaching front strut clevis bracket to steering knuckle.
6. Loosen lower bolt attaching strut clevis bracket to steering knuckle only enough to allow knuckle to move in clevis bracket.
7. Install bolt from service kit into upper strut clevis bracket to steering knuckle mounting hole.
8. Install nut provided by service kit on replacement bolt.
