Front Adjustment

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2000 Volvo V70, 2000 Volvo S70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo V70, and 1999 Volvo S70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Raise car and remove wheel(s). On vehicles with sleeves in the stub axles, remove the upper sleeve. If necessary, remove both sleeves from the stub axle, depending on how large the adjustment needs to be. A sleeve gives an angle change of approximately 0.5°. For both sleeves the change is approximately 1°. See Fig 1 .
  2. On vehicle without sleeves in the stub axles, replace bolts and nuts and adjust. Install new bolts and nuts to stub axles. Tighten the bolts lightly, but not more than that the stub axle can be moved with some resistance, in or out in relation to the shock absorber strut. Turn stub axle in or out as far as the play between the holes and screw allows. Tighten both the bolts to 48 ft. lbs. (65 N.m) and angle-tighten an additional 90°. Recheck camber angle.
