1. Position the car on your alignment equipment,
and follow the manufacturer's instructions to
obtain a toe-in reading.
2. Loosen the jam nut on the tie rod.
3. Rotate the tie rod to adjust the toe to specifica-
tions.
4. Tighten the jam nut to 64 N*m (47 lb. ft.).
Rear C a m b e r Adjustment
1. Position the vehicle on your alignment equipment,
and follow the manufacturers instructions to
obtain a camber reading.
2. Use appropriate sockets and extensions to reach
around both sides of the tire and LOOSEN both
strut-to-knuckle bolts enough to allow movement
between the strut and the knuckle. Remove the
tools.
3. Grasp the top of the tire firmly, and move it
inboard or outboard until the correct camber is
obtained.
4. Again reach around the tire, as in Step 2, and
tighten both bolts to 190 Nnn (140 lb. ft.).
5. If the accessibility to the bolts prevents applying
complete torque, it will be necessary to apply only
PARTIAL torque (just enough to hold the correct
camber position), then to remove the wheel-and-
tire in order to apply FINAL torque. After com-
plete torquing, install the wheel-and-tire.
6. Repeat on other side.
