Wheel Alignment (cont'd)

  1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported. Remove the front wheels.
  1. Replace the damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts (A) and adjust the camber angle.
    NOTE: The camber angle can be adjusted up to ± 15' (centre of tolerance) by replacing one damper pinch bolt with the adjusting bolt. The camber angle can be adjusted up to ± 30' by replacing both upper and lower damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts.

  1. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
  2. Reinstall the front wheel. 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 and adjust if necessary. If it is not within the specification, readjust and recheck. If the camber angle cannot be adjusted to the specification, check for bent or damaged suspension components.

Rear Camber Inspection
  1. 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, check for bent or damaged suspension components.

Rear camber angle: - 0°45' ± 45'
