Camber


Camber on rear axle (vehicles with all-wheel drive), adjusting
For vehicles before model year 2003 the camber cannot be adjusted.

If a value lies outside the tolerances, check trim height and balance if necessary.

If the measured values are outside the allowed tolerances the axle beam must be checked for damage and replaced if necessary.

From model year 2003 the camber is adjustable. The transverse link has only one hole. Here the camber can be adjusted too.





If a vehicle before model year 2003 has a transverse link with hole, then the camber can be adjusted here too.
- Loosen bolts - 1 - and - 2 - for transverse link.
3 - Upper transverse link
4 - Lower transverse link
5 - Trailing arm
- Press wheel in and out to adjust to prescribed value.
- Tighten bolted connection transverse link/trailing arm with 70 Nm (52 ft. lbs.).
- Check camber adjustment. If necessary, repeat adjustment.
- If adjustment is OK, tighten bolted connection transverse link/trailing arm with an additional 1/4 turn 90°.
