Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Camber & Caster
Loosen nut on upper control armfront cam bolt, note camber reading, then rotate front bolt to correct for HALF of the incorrect reading and tighten nut. Loosen nut on rear cam bolt, and rotate cam to bring camber reading to 0°, then tighten nut. If caster does not need adjustment, tighten cam nuts. If caster needs adjustment, loosen front cam bolt and rotate cam so camber changes an amount equal to 1/4 of the desired caster change. If adjusting for excessive negative caster, rotate bolt to increase negative camber. Tighten front nut. Loosen rear cam nut and rotate cam until camber setting returns to 0° (this will result in correct caster setting). Tighten cam nuts and recheck adjustment.
