Front Axle Camber, Adjusting: Procedure
Camber cannot be adjusted.
The camber can only be centered evenly within the tolerance range by sliding the subframe.
- It is only permissible to slide the subframe to the left or right. Under no circumstances slide it in or against the direction of travel!
-- Remove the noise insulation. Refer to Overview - Noise Insulation .
-- Remove the bolts -1 through 6- one after the other and install new bolts loosely.
-- Move the subframe sideways until the camber is even on both sides.
-- Tighten the subframe bolts -1 through 6-.
After sliding the subframe and steering gear along with it as well, clearance between universal joint of the steering column and the cutout of plenum chamber bulkhead must be checked.
-- Remove the securing nuts -arrows- and remove the footwell trim panel.
There must be at least 5 mm of free space all around between the universal joint -1- and the cutout of the plenum chamber bulkhead -2-.
