Camber: Refer to [SERVICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS ].

NOTE: Some vehicles may be equipped with straight (non-adjustable) lower link bolts and washers. In order to adjust camber and caster on these vehicles, first replace the lower link bolts and washers with adjustable (cam) bolts and washers.

If outside of the specified value, adjust camber and caster using the adjusting bolts in the front lower link.
