5. ADJUST CAMBER
NOTICE:
After the camber has been adjusted, inspect the toe±in.
(a) Remove the front wheels and speed sensor clamp.
(b) Remove the 2 nuts on the lower side of the shock absorb-
er.
(c) Coat the threads of the nuts with engine oil.
(d) Temporarily install the 2 nuts.
(e) Adjust the camber by pushing or pulling the lower side of
the shock absorber in the direction in which the camber
adjustment is required.
(f) Tighten the nuts.
Torque: 211 N´m (2,150 kgf´cm, 156 ft´lbf)
(g) Install the front wheels.
Torque: 103 N´m (1,050 kgf´cm, 76 ft´lbf)
(h) Check the camber.
HINT:

Try to adjust the camber to the center value.

Adjusting value for the set bolts is 6' ± 30' (0.1° ± 0.5°).
If the camber is not within the specification, using the table be-
low, estimate for how much additional camber adjustment will
be required, and select the camber adjusting bolt.
(i) Follow the above mentioned steps again. Between step
(b) and (c), exchange 1 or 2 selected bolts.
HINT:
When exchanging the 2 bolts, exchange 1 bolt for each time.
