Page 10 of 11
STEP 3:
Adjust cross camber to eliminate vehicle pulling.
HINT:
If the tires are placed in the positions they were in during tire rotation when the least
amount of vehicle pulling occurred, wheel alignment can be performed with a minimal
amount of adjustment.
WHEN VEHICLE PULLS TO LEFTWHEN VEHICLE PULLS TO RIGHT
Increase right front camber and decrease left
front camber until vehicle pulling is eliminatedIncrease left front camber and decrease right
front camber until vehicle pulling is eliminated
NOTE:
Keep the cross camber within 1
or less.
Keep the camber of each wheel within specifications (+/±45' of center value).
If adjustment exceeds the specifications, uneven tire wear will result.
5. Camber Adjustment Method
NOTE:
After the camber has been adjusted,
inspect the toe±in.
NOTE:
The method of camber adjustment
differs for different models, so please
refer to the repair manual of the
vehicle involved. (This is a sample
from the RX 300 Repair Manual).
A. Remove the front wheels and
ABS speed sensor clamp.
B. Remove the two nuts on the lower
side of the shock absorber.
C. Coat the threads of the nuts with
engine oil.
D. Temporarily install the two 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.

± 0.5
).
When making an adjustment of more
than 45', replace the upper and lower
steering knuckle set bolts with the
adjusting bolts
. If the camber is not
within the specification, use the table
shown to estimate how much
additional camber adjustment will be
required, and select the appropriate
camber adjusting bolt.
I. Follow steps 5±a through 5±h
again. Between steps 5±b and
5±c, exchange one or two
