Front wheel camber, adjusting

Camber cannot be adjusted

If vehicle is out of specification, check trim height and balance if necessary  page 44-6.

By adjusting sub-frame it is possible to bring camber within tolerance.



- Loosen bolts -1- and -2-.

- Move sub-frame to equalize camber on both sides.

- Check caster; caster can also change when moving sub-frame.

Notes:

Always replace sub-frame bolts (one at a time) when making this type of adjustment.
