All-Wheel Drive

Before attempting any adjustments, see PRELIMINARY CHECKS and WHEEL ALIGNMENT WORK SEQUENCE .

Rear camber value is based on vehicle standing (ride) height. To determine vehicle standing height, measure distance between center of wheel and lower edge of wheel housing. See Fig 1 . Once standing height is determined, use REAR AXLE CAMBER VALUES table to determine camber value.

NOTE: Before adjusting rear axle camber, check axle beam for damage. Replace parts as necessary.

NOTE: Manufacturer recommends replacing lateral control arm/wheel carrier bolts and nuts if fasteners are loosened or removed.

Camber is adjusted via the specified range of bore in lateral control arm using special tools No. T40022/1 and T40022. See Fig 2 . See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS . To adjust camber, loosen bolts on lateral control arm/wheel carrier and adjust to specification. Using NEW nuts and bolts, torque lateral control arm/wheel carrier bolts to 52 ft. lbs. (70 N.m) plus an additional 90° turn. Recheck rear camber, adjusting as necessary.
