Camber Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Adjust the camber before adjusting the caster.
When adjusting the camber, abnormal noise may occur if the adjusting cam bolt and nut are reused after removing the adjusting cam bolt installation nut. When adjusting the camber, be careful not to completely remove the adjusting cam bolt installation nut.
- If the installation nut for the adjusting cam bolt is removed, replace the adjusting cam bolt and nut with new ones.

Loosen the installation nut of the adjusting cam bolt on the front side of the front lower arm.
