Camber Adjustment: Front

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1984 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Jounce vehicle several times to settle suspension. Release on down stroke. Check for proper tire pressure, worn steering or suspension components.

To adjust camber, loosen upper control arm pivot shaft-to-frame nuts. To increase camber (positive), remove equal thickness of shims from front and rear bolts. Check that difference between front and rear shim pack does not exceed .40" (10.2 mm).
To decrease camber (negative), add equal thickness of shim to front and rear bolts. Tighten control arm shaft nuts, starting with thin shim pack first (for better clamping force). Recheck camber. See Fig 1 .
