WHEEL ALIGNMENT LEFT WHEEL POSITIVE RIGHT WHEEL POSITIVE Camber Camber is adjusted by turning the front and rear adjust- ing cam bolts at the lower arm. 2 Caution Adjust the camber after adjusting the caster. 1. Loosen the front and rear cam nuts. 2. Turn the front and rear adjusting cam bolts the same amount in the opposite direction to provide the correct camber angle. Left wheel Note Turning the front cam one graduation changes the camber about 25' and the caster about 22'. Turning the rear cam one graduation changes the camber about 2' and the caster about 22'. Right wheel Positive Negative Note If the cam cannot be turned far enough to make the adjustment, begin again at adjustment of the caster using the other cam. i 3. Tighten the nuts.

Remove the steering gear boot clamp. 2. Loosen the left and right tie rod locknuts, and turn the tie rods by the same amount. 3. Loosen the left and right tie rod locknuts and turn the tie rods equally. Both tie rods are right threaded, so turning the right tie rod toward the front of the vehicle and the left toward the rear increases toe-in. Clockwise Counter- clockwise Note Turning both tie rods one complete turn changes toe-in by about 7 mm (0.28 in}. 4. Tighten the tie rod locknuts to the specified torque.

If a spacer is damaged, replace it. 6. Prepare the nozzle of the sealant tube so that it has a flange that can run along the edge of the glass and a V from which the sealant can flow. Once the primer is dry, apply repair sealant (BOO1 77 739) around the entire cir- cumference to fill the gap between the dam and the edge of the glass with a ridge of sealant 11 mm I0.43 in} high. Keep the bead of sealant smooth and even, reshaping it where necessary with a spatula. 7. If a protector is damaged, securely bond a new protector onto the body as shown. Allow it to dry completely. 8. Install the glass, aligning the glass mark with the V notch in the spacer. Push it in lightly toward the vehicle to corn- press the sealant. 9.

T AUDIO / SNAP-RING OUN TlNG NUT BROKEN Antenna Mast Removal / Installation 1. Using snap-ring pliers, remove the mounting nut. 2. With the ignition switch at ACC or ON, turn the radio switch on, and pull out the antenna mast. Check the end of the plastic rack for damage. If the rack end is kinked or broken, replace the motor. 3. With the ignition switch at ACC or ON and the radio on, feed the rack of the new mast into the motor with toothed side facing toward the front of the vehicle. Turn the radio off. While the motor is retracting the rack, feed the mast into the motor. 4. Reinstall the mounting nut. 5. With the ignition switch at ACC or ON, turn the radio on and off a few times and check to see that the antenna op- erates smoothly. Gartner Banana

u GENERAL SERVICE INFORMATION TIEDOWN HOOK - FRONT /'-- TIEDOWN HOOK - REAR -?-A TOWING Proper towing equipments are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle during any towing operation. Laws and regulations applicable to vehicles in tow must always be observed. Release the parking brake, place the shift lever in neutral, and set the ignition switch in the ACC posi- tion. As a rule, towed vehicles should be pulled with the driving wheels off the ground. WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION If the transmission, rear axle, and steering system are not damaged, the vehicle may be towed on all four wheels. If any of these components are damaged, use a towing dolly. CAUTION The power assist for the brakes and steering are inoperable while the engine is off. Do not use the tiedown hooks under the front or rear of the vehicle for towing. These hooks are designed ONLY for transport tiedown. If the tiedown hooks are used for towing, the front or rear skirt and bumper will be damaged.
