Camber

Fig. 3 Front Camber Adjustment:





Camber angle, Fig. 1, is controlled by the position of the strut mounting block in the shock tower. The mounting block can be positioned in the tower in two ways, resulting in a camber variation of approximately 1/2°. If the camber setting has not been changed previously, the white alignment mark on the mounting block will be positioned on the outboard side of the strut assembly, Fig. 2. Changing the position of the alignment mark 180° will increase camber angle approximately 1/2°, Fig. 3. If the alignment mark is already positioned inboard of the strut, changing the mounting block position can only result in camber being reduced by approximately 1/2°. To adjust camber setting, proceed as follows:
1. Raise and support vehicle and remove front wheels.
2. Remove upper strut attaching nuts.
3. Lower strut sufficiently so that mounting studs clear tower, then rotate mounting block 180° as necessary.
4. Reposition strut in tower, then install attaching nuts and torque to 32 to 45 ft. lbs.
