Front Camber Inspection
  1. Turn the front wheels to the straight ahead position.
  2. Remove the wheel cap and install the wheel alignment gauge attachment (A) and camber/caster gauge on the wheel hub.

  1. Read the camber angle on the gauge with the bubble at the centre of the gauge. If the camber angle is not within the specification, adjust the camber (see the right column).

Front camber angle: 0°00' ±45'

Front Camber Adjustment

The front camber can be adjusted by exchanging one or both of the damper pinch bolts with the smaller diameter adjusting bolt (s). The difference between the adjusting bolt diameter and the pinch bolt hole diameter allow a small range of adjustment.

(P/N 90188-S5A-000)


  1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported. Remove the front wheels.
  2. Loosen the damper pinch nuts and bolts (A), and adjust the camber by moving the bottom of the damper within the range of the damper pinch bolt free play.

  1. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
  2. Reinstall the front wheels. Lower the front of the vehicle to the ground and bounce the vehicle several times to stabilise the suspension.
  3. Check the camber angle. If it is within the specification, check the front toe. If it is not within the specification, go to step 6.
