Camber Adjustment - Front

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Front camber is adjusted through the use of the upper strut plate. Rotating the upper strut plate 180 degrees will change the camber +0.5 degrees.
  1. Using alignment equipment and the manufacturer's instructions, measure the camber.
  2. Remove and discard the stabilizer bar link lower nut and disconnect the link from the lower arm.
    • To install, tighten to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft).
  3. Remove and discard the 4 strut upper mounting plate nuts.
    • To install, tighten to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft).
  4. Using a suitable jack, raise the vehicle body enough to allow the front strut upper plate mounting studs to clear the frame.
  5. NOTE: Rotating the upper strut plate 180 degrees will change the camber +0.5 degrees.
  6. Rotate the upper mounting plate 180 degrees.
  7. Recheck the front camber settings.
  8. Check and, if necessary, adjust the front toe. For additional information, refer to Toe Adjustment - Front .
