2. To adjust camber,change shims at both the front and rear of the shaft. Adding an equal number of shims at both the front and rear of the upper
control arm will decrease positive camber. A normal shim pack will leave at least two threads of the bolt exposed beyond the nut. The difference
between front and rear shim packs must not exceed 10 mm (0.40 inch). If these requirements cannot be met, check for damaged control arms and
related parts. Tighten the nut on the thinner shim pack first. This improves the upper control arm shaft-to-frame clamping force and torque
retention.

Toe-In
Tie rod adjuster parts often become rusted in service. If the torque required to remove the nut from the bolt after breakaway exceeds 9 Nm (80 ft. lbs),
discard the nuts and bolts. Apply penetrating oil between the clamp and tube and rotate the clamps until they move freely. Install new bolts and nuts
with the correct part number.
