Camber And Caster

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Nissan Armada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure camber and caster of both the right and left wheels and adjust as necessary to specification.

    Camber and Caster: Refer to  "WHEEL ALIGNMENT (UNLADEN*1) ".

    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, replace the lower link bolts and washers with adjustable (cam) bolts and washers.
  2. If outside of the specified value, adjust camber and caster using the cam bolts (1) in the front lower link (2).
    CAUTION: After adjusting the camber and caster, check the toe-in.
    NOTE: Camber changes about 3' (0.05°) minutes with each graduation of one cam bolt. Refer to table below for examples of lower link cam bolt effect on camber and caster.
