A-ARM ADJUSTMENT 
 

A-Arm adjustments are made with the double threaded "adjustment thimbles" (see photograph) which are 
located on both the front and rear upper A-arms for use in adjusting wheel camber. The same mechanism can 
be found at the rear lower A-arm for toe adjustment. The adjustment thimbles are secured with lock nuts which 
must be re-tightened after any adjustments are made.  The vehicle must be re-aligned after any camber 
adjustment is made.
