Camber And Caster

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure camber and caster of both the right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and adjust as necessary to specification.
Camber : Refer to "FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT ".

Fig 1: Attaching Alignment Gauge To Wheel

NOTE: Some vehicles may be equipped with straight (non-adjustable) lower link bolts and washers. In order to adjust camber and caster on these vehicles, first replace the lower link bolts and washers with adjustable (cam) bolts and washers.

If outside of the specified value, adjust camber and caster using the adjusting bolts in the front lower link.

CAUTION: After adjusting the camber then check the toe-in.

NOTE: Camber changes about 3' (0.05°) minutes with each graduation of one adjusting bolt. Refer to table below for examples of lower link adjusting bolt effect on camber and caster.
