Front Caster and Camber Adjustment
The caster and camber adjustments are made by loosening the lower control arm adjustment bolts and repositioning the lower control arm.
Important: Before adjusting the caster and camber angles, jounce the front bumper 3 times to allow the vehicle to return to normal height.
Measure and adjust the caster and the camber with the vehicle at curb height. The front suspension Z dimension and the rear suspension D
dimension are indicated in Trim Heights. Refer to Trim Height Inspection (See: Steering and Suspension/Suspension/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Trim Height Inspection).
1. For an accurate reading, do not push or pull on the tires during the alignment process.
2. Determine the caster (2, 3) angle.
3. Determine the camber (2, 3) angle.
4. Loosen the lower control arm adjustment bolts (1).
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice (See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Fastener Notice).
5. Adjust the caster and the camber angle by repositioning the lower control arm (2) until the specifications have been met.
When the adjustments are complete, hold the lower control arm in position so that the specifications do not change while tightening the lower
control arm adjustment bolts.
