4WD Models

Determine camber angle from alignment machine and correct (if adjustable) as necessary. To adjust camber on "T" models, loosen upper control arm-to-frame nuts. To increase positive camber, move both front and rear cam lobes inward. If alignment specification is not within limits, check for damaged control arms and related parts.

Fig 1: Adjusting Caster & Camber By adding or subtracting equal amounts of shims, camber may be corrected without affecting caster.
