Adjustment
NOTE:
Suspension fasteners are critical parts that affect the performance of vital components and systems. Failure of these fasteners may result in major service expense. Use the same or equivalent parts if replacement is necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Tighten fasteners as specified.
NOTE:
Before carrying out a camber adjustment, check the tires for the correct pressure. Inspect the tires for incorrect wear or damage. Inspect the front suspension components for wear or damage.
- 1.
Using alignment equipment and the manufacturer's instructions, measure the front camber.Use the General Equipment: Wheel Alignment System
- 2.NOTE: The stabilizer bar links are designed with low friction ball joints that have a low breakaway torque.NOTE: Use the hex-holding feature to prevent the ball stud from turning while removing or installing the stabilizer bar link nut.
Remove and discard the stabilizer bar link upper nut and disconnect the stabilizer bar link.
- 4.NOTE: Do not rotate the strut mount to any other position than 180 degrees from its original position, the notch (located on top of the strut mount) must either point inward (towards the engine) or outward (towards the fender).
- 1.
Push the upper strut mount downward.
- 2.NOTE: When rotated 180 degrees from the original position, camber changes by 0.5 degrees.
Rotate the strut mount 180 degrees.

- 7.NOTE: The stabilizer bar links are designed with low friction ball joints that have a low breakaway torque.NOTE: Use the hex-holding feature to prevent the ball stud from turning while installing the stabilizer bar link nut.
Connect the stabilizer bar link and install the new stabilizer bar link upper nut.
