Camber And Caster

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Titan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure camber and caster of both the right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and adjust as necessary to specification.

If outside of the specified value, adjust camber and caster using the adjusting bolts in the lower links.

CAUTION: After adjusting the camber then check the toe-in.

NOTE: Camber changes about 3' (0.11°) minutes with each graduation of one adjusting bolt. Refer to table below for examples of lower link adjusting bolt effect on camber and caster.
