WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
IMPORTANT: Changes in axle geometry caused by accidents must under no circumstances be rectified by a camber adjustment!
NOTE: Camber and toe-in influence each other. Adjust the toe-in first in order to simplify the adjustment procedure. The centering pin may only be removed if the camber is outside the specified tolerance after toe adjustment.

Installation note:  Make sure that the gaiter (3) of the track rod does not turn with it.
