Front Camber Adjustments

NOTE: The vehicle should be empty and at curb weight with a full fuel tank when checking and adjusting wheel alignment. The vehicle must be checked to establish that it conforms to the Jaguar original specification, such as wheels, tires, tire pressures, etc.
  1. Following the alignment equipment manufacturer's instructions, measure the suspension geometry. Contact Jaguar Technical Support for assistance if necessary. Technical Support will give advice on the course of action to be taken to rectify the problem.
  2. Loosen the rear lower control arm lock nut. Fig 1 .
  3. Rotate the camber adjustment cam bolt to adjust the camber, as necessary. Rotating the camber adjustment cam bolt through 90 degrees from the 6 o'clock position, so that the indicator strip is outboard of the bolt center, will cause the lower control arm rear to move outward. This will, depending on original camber angle, either decrease the positive camber or increase the negative camber. Rotating the camber adjustment cam bolt through 90 degrees from the 6 o'clock position, so that the indicator strip is inboard of the bolt center, will cause the lower control arm to move inward. This will, depending on original camber angle, either increase the positive camber or decrease the negative camber.
  4. Recheck the camber settings. Readjust the camber as necessary to achieve proper alignment specifications. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS  .
  5. Ensuring that the camber adjustment cam bolt does not turn, tighten the lock nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
