Camber Adjustment Bolt Package Installation

The camber adjustment bolt package contains new bolts and nuts for attaching the strut clevis bracket to the steering knuckle. The bolts contained in the package are slightly undersize allowing for movement between the strut clevis bracket and the steering knuckle. The movement allowed by the undersize bolts provide approximately two degrees of camber adjustment per side of the vehicle. To install and adjust the camber adjustment bolt package, follow the procedure below.

1. Raise the vehicle until its tires are not supporting the weight of the vehicle.

   CAUTION: The knuckle-to-strut assembly bolt shanks are serrated and must not be turned during removal. Remove the nuts while holding the bolts stationary, then tap the bolts out using a punch.

9. Install the tire and wheel assembly (1). Refer to INSTALLATION . Install and tighten the wheel mounting nuts (3) to 135 N.m (100 ft. lbs.).
10. Perform the above procedure to opposite strut as required.
11. Lower the vehicle and jounce the front and rear of the vehicle.
12. Adjust the front camber to the preferred setting by pushing or pulling on the top of the tire. When camber is set to specifications, tighten the upper and lower strut clevis bracket bolts. Again jounce the front and rear of the vehicle, then verify the camber settings.
13. Torque front strut clevis bracket-to-steering knuckle attaching bolts to a torque of 163 N.m (120 ft. lbs.).
14. Once camber is within specifications, adjust toe to meet the preferred specification setting. Refer to FRONT TOE  within this wheel alignment service procedure.
