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.
Complete Wheel Alignment: Caster
Moving the rear position of the cam bolt in or out, will change the caster angle significantly and camber angle only slightly. To maintain the camber angle while adjusting caster, move the rear cam bolt in or out. Then move the front cam bolt slightly in the opposite direction.
To increase positive caster angle, move the rear position cam bolt outward (from the engine). Move the front cam bolt inward (toward the engine) slightly until the specified camber angle is obtained.
