Camber Adjustment
NOTE:
Before adjusting caster or camber, check subframe alignment.
- To check subframe alignment, loosen subframe mount bolts. Install a 3/4" (19 mm) pipe or alignment bar into driver side subframe and body alignment holes. Slightly tighten subframe mount bolts.
- Repeat procedure for passenger side. Check driver side alignment holes again. After both sides are aligned, tighten mount bolts. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . See Fig 1 .
- To make minor adjustments to camber and caster, loosen the subframe mount bolts and shift the subframe. If this does not allow enough adjustment, loosen 3 upper strut mounting bracket-to-strut tower attaching nuts. Drill out 4 or 5 spot welds at upper strut alignment plate. See Fig 2 .
- DO NOT drill any deeper than necessary to move alignment plate. Remove 3 upper strut mounting bracket-to-strut tower attaching nuts and alignment plate. Clean burrs from strut tower and alignment bracket. Paint exposed metal surfaces.
- Position strut and alignment bracket. Loosely install attaching nuts. Adjust camber/caster by moving top of strut. Tighten attaching nuts to specification. Drill 3 holes for rivets in perimeter of alignment bracket. See Fig 3 . Install 3 rivets.
CAUTION:
DO NOT drill any deeper than 3/8" (9.6 mm) deep into strut tower.
