Camber Adjustment Values on the Front Suspension for RHD Vehicles and Standard Chassis (1BA)






If the vehicle has RHD and the standard chassis (1BA), then check and adjust the camber on the front axle according to the height of the vehicle.

- Measure the vehicle height - a - at the right and left front wheels between the center of the wheel and the lower edge of the fender.

Maximum permissible difference in height between the right and left ≤ 10 mm

Calculating the Camber Adjustment Value

Camber adjustment value = -43' + [(vehicle height left + vehicle height right) : 2] - 404

1' camber = 1 mm vehicle height

The camber values are defined in the following table based on the vehicle heights at the front suspension.
