4. Check the toe-in, and repeat the adjustment procedure if necessary.
5. After the toe-in adjustment is complete, the steering wheel should be at the center of its travel. If not,
remove and correct the position so it is as close to center as possible. See Steering Wheel Installation
on page 7-2.
Camber Measurement
1. On a level, hard, and smooth surface roll the vehicle forward, then stop. Make sure the front wheels are
pointed straight ahead. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Do not turn the steering wheel again during this procedure.
2. Use a large carpenter’s square and position it a few inches (cm) away from the center of one wheel
(Figure 7-24, Page 7-13) .
3. Measure distance (A) between the edge of the square and a top location on the inside bead of the wheel
rim. Record that measurement. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Do not measure against the wheel rim edge or tire sidewall. Both of these can have variations in
their surfaces that will result in inaccurate dimensions.
4. Measure distance (B) in the same method as distance (A), using the same reference on a bottom location
on the inside bead of the wheel. Record that measurement. See following NOTE.
NOTE: If dimension (A) is greater that dimension (B), the camber is negative. A positive camber dimension
is desirable, with dimension (A) being less than dimension (B).
5. The camber for this vehicle should be from zero to 0.275 inch (7.0 mm) maximum. See following NOTE.
NOTE: A good average dimension for this specification is 5/32-inch (4 mm) camber on each wheel.
Camber Adjustment
1. Locate the bolts that secure the flat camber adjustment bar in position at the underside of the lower A-
arm. Loosen the bolts just enough to allow the bar to move with some resistance (Figure 7-25,
Page 7-13) .

Both drag links should be
adjusted to an equal distance.
