Front Camber Adjustment

The steps outlined in this procedure are general requirements for properly setting the front camber.
The alignment equipment varies in design and capabilities, therefore, consult with the equipment manufacturer's guidelines prior to setting this angle.





1. If the front camber is not within the service allowable range, estimate how much you need to move the front camber. Select the appropriate combination of bolts in order to move the front camber to be within the service allowable range. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications.
- In order to move the camber +/- 0.25 degree, use bolt (1), GM P/N 94846618, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (2), GM P/N 94851541, in the lower bolt position.
- In order to move the camber +/- 0.50 degree, use bolt (1), GM P/N 94846618, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (3), GM P/N 94851542, in the lower bolt position.
- In order to move the camber +/- 0.75 degree, use bolt (1), GM P/N 94846618, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (4), GM P/N 94851543, in the lower bolt position.
- In order to move the camber +/- 1.00 degree, use bolt (2), GM P/N 94851541, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (4), GM P/N 94851543, in the lower bolt position.
- In order to move the camber +/- 1.25 degree, use bolt (3), GM P/N 94851542, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (4), GM P/N 94851543, in the lower bolt position.
- In order to move the camber +/- 1.50 degree, use bolt (4), GM P/N 94851543, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (4), GM P/N 94851543, in the lower bolt position.





2. Raise and support the front of the vehicle with a jack or with the alignment equipment. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
3. Remove the front tire and wheel assembly from the vehicle. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires or Wheel.
4. Remove the 2 nuts (1,2) on the lower side of the strut.
5. Remove the bolt from the upper bolt position (1)
6. Install the selected bolt for the upper bolt position.
7. Remove the bolt from the lower bolt position (2)
8. Install the selected bolt for the lower bolt position.
9. Coat the nut's threads with engine oil.
10. Temporarily install the 2 nuts. DO NOT tighten the nuts at this time.
11. Install the front tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires or Wheel.
12. Lower the vehicle onto the alignment equipment.
13. Measure the alignment.





14. Push or pull on the top of the tire and wheel assembly in order to move the camber to be within the service allowable range. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications.
15. Tighten the nuts and the bolts on the lower side of the strut.
- Tighten the nuts and the bolts to 274 Nm (203 ft. lbs.).
