Camber Adjustment (RSX)
NOTE:
The front camber can be adjusted by exchanging one or both of the strut pinch bolts with the smaller diameter adjusting bolt(s). The difference between the adjusting bolt diameter and the pinch bolt hole diameter allows a small range of adjustment. See Fig 1
.
- Raise vehicle, support, and remove front wheels. Loosen the strut pinch nuts and bolts, and adjust the camber by moving the bottom of the strut with in range of the strut pinch bolt free play. See Fig 2 .
- Tighten the bolts to specified torque. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Reinstall the front wheels, lower the front of the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension. Check the camber angle. If it is within the specification, check the front toe-in. If it is NOT within specification, go to next step.
- Raise vehicle, support, and re-remove the front wheels. Replace the strut pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts, and adjust the camber angle. The camber angle can be adjusted to between, - 15 to 15' (center tolerance) by replacing one strut pinch bolt with the adjusting bolt. The camber angle can be adjusted to between, - 30 to 30' by replacing both upper and lower strut pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts. See Fig 2 .
- Tighten the bolts to specified torque. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Reinstall the front wheels. Lower the front of the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension. Recheck the camber angle. If it is within the specification, check the front toe-in, and adjust it if necessary. If it is NOT within the specification, readjust, and recheck. If the camber angle cannot be adjusted to correct specification, check for bent or damaged suspension components.
