Front Camber Adjustment
The front camber can be adjusted by exchanging one or both of the damper pinch bolts with a smaller diameter adjusting bolt. The difference between
the adjusting bolt diameter and the pinch bolt hole diameter allows for a small range of adjustment.
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Loosen the damper pinch bolts (A), and adjust the camber angle by moving the bottom of the damper within the range of the damper pinch bolt
free play.
4. Tighten the damper pinch bolts to the specified torque.
5. Clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the front wheels.
6. Lower the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the front of the vehicle up and down several times to settle the suspension.
7. Measure the camber angle.
^
If the measurement is within specification, measure the toe-in.
^
If the measurement is not within specification, go to step 8.
8. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
9. Remove the front wheels.
10. Replace the damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts (A), and adjust the camber angle.
NOTE:
^
Install the washers (B) included the adjusting bolt set between the front damper and the self-locking nut.
^
The camber angle can be adjusted up to ±25' (center of tolerance) by replacing one damper pinch bolt with the adjusting bolt.
^
The camber angle can be adjusted up to 50' by replacing both damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts.
11. Tighten the adjusting bolts to the specified torque value.
12. Clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the front wheels.
13. Lower the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the front of the vehicle up and down several times to settle the suspension.
14. Measure the camber angle. If the camber angle is not within specification, repeat steps 8 through 13 to readjust the camber angle. If the camber
