Wheel Alignment Specifications & Procedures: Adjustment: Camber
NOTE:
Adding an equal number of shims at both front and rear of cross shaft will decrease positive camber. By adding or subtracting equal amounts of shims, camber may be corrected without affecting caster.
Determine camber angle from alignment machine and adjust as necessary. Camber is changed by adding or subtracting shims from between upper control arm shaft and frame bracket. Adding an equal number of shims at both front and rear of cross shaft will decrease positive camber and vice versa. See Fig 1 . If a normal shim pack will not bring vehicle within specifications, check for damaged control arms and related parts.

CAUTION:
Wheel runout must be checked and, if necessary, compensated for before checking and/or adjusting toe-in. Maximum steel wheel radial runout is .040" (1.02 mm) and lateral runout is .045" (1.14 mm). Maximum aluminum wheel radial and lateral runout is .030" (.76 mm). Replace wheel if beyond specifications.
