Camber Adjustment

CAUTION:

NOTE:

The camber and caster change largely if the front cam is adjusted due to the suspension construction. If the rear cam is adjusted, the caster largely, however, the camber barely changes. Therefore, adjust the camber (front cam) and then the caster (rear cam) to adjust the alignment efficiently.

Loosen the fixing nut of the adjusting cam bolt (front lower arm front side).
