1. Jack up the vehicle and remove the wheel and tire.





2. Replace the shown bolt and change it for the adjusting bolt.
3. Adjust the camber by moving the shock absorber and the knuckle.
4. Tighten the nut to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
103 - 122 Nm (10.5 - 12.5 kgf-m, 76.0 - 90.4 ft. lbs.)
5. Jack down the vehicle after installing the wheel and tire.
6. Shake the vehicle to settle the suspension.
7. Inspect the camber and readjust it if necessary.

CASTER ADJUSTMENT

1. Center the steering wheel and confirm that the vehicle wheels/tires are pointing straight.
2. Remove the steering gear boot clamp.
3. Loosen the left and right tie rod locknuts and turn the tie rods equally. Both tie rods are right threaded, so turning the right tie rod toward the front of the vehicle and the left toward the rear increases toe-in.

Note Turning both tie rods one complete turn changes toe-in by about 6 mm (0.24 inch) (0°36').

4. Tighten the tie rod locknuts to the specified torque.
