For 1990-2009 cars

Important: The camber can only be set within a very limited range by the measures described below.

1. Measure camber with computer-aided chassis alignment system.

Important: The relevant front wheel must be freely suspended.

2. Raise the vehicle at front.
3. Remove the 2 bolted connections (1), spring strut support tube to steering knuckle.
4. Make the 2 bolted connections (1), spring strut support tube to steering knuckle.

• | Use the 2 new bolts.

• | Install the 2 new nuts.

5. Pull the top of front wheel outwards (arrow) and adjust maximum positive camber.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.

Important: Tighten with reduced torque to create clamping effect between spring strut and steering knuckle.

6. Tighten the 2 bolted connections, spring strut support tube to steering knuckle.

Tighten
Tighten the bolted connections to 10 N·m (89 lb in).

Important: Camber changes in "negative" direction - move front wheel by hand if necessary.

7. Adjust the camber.

• | Slowly lower the vehicle onto the wheels.

• | Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications .

• | When the specification has been achieved, tighten the 2 bolted connections, spring strut support tube to steering knuckle in 3 stages.

Tighten

• | Tighten the 2 bolted connections 50 N·m (37 lb ft).

• | Tighten the 2 new screwed joint 85 N·m (63 lb ft).

• | Continue to tighten the 2 new screw connection 75 degrees plus 15 degrees.

8. Rock the vehicle several times.
9. Inspect the camber setting again.
