Rear Adjustment

Under normal driving conditions, rear camber adjustment is not necessary. If camber reading is not to specification, check and replace bent or worn rear suspension parts as necessary. See RWD - REAR SUSPENSION article.

CAUTION: Care should be taken not to damage parking brake cables when tapping out axle beam guide pins.

If rear suspension parts are okay, tap out upper and lower rear axle beam guide pins. See Fig 1 . Remove lower rear axle beam bolts. Move lower beam sideways as far as free play in bolt holes will permit. Moving lower rear axle beam .04" (1 mm) changes camber .25 degree (15 minutes). Tighten beam bolts alternately from center to 63 ft. lbs. (80 N.m).
