Front Camber Adjustment

The front camber can be adjusted by exchanging one or both of the damper pinch bolts with a smaller diameter adjusting bolt, P/N 90120-SHJ-A00. The difference between the adjusting bolt diameter and the pinch bolt hole diameter allows for a small range of adjustment.

1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see SAFETY STANDS ).
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Loosen the flange bolts (A), and adjust the camber by moving the bottom of the damper within the range of the damper pinch bolt free play. Tighten the flange nuts to the specified torque.

4. Reinstall the front wheels. Lower the front of the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the front of the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension.
5. Measure the camber angle.
   • If the measurement is within specification, measure the toe-in.
   • If the measurement is not within specification, go to step 6.
6. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see SAFETY STANDS ).
7. Remove the front wheels.
8. Replace the damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts (A), and adjust the camber angle.
   NOTE: The camber angle can be adjusted up to +/-25' (center of tolerance) by replacing one damper pinch bolt with the adjusting bolt. The camber angle can be adjusted up to 50' by replacing both damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts.

9. Tighten the flange nuts to the specified torque value.
10. Install the front wheels.
11. Lower the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the front of the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension.
12. Measure the camber angle. If the camber angle is not within specification, repeat steps 6 through 11 to readjust the camber angle. If the camber measurement is correct, measure toe-in, and adjust it if necessary.
