Static Camber Adjustment

The wheels can be set to have either
positive or negative camber (see illustration
below). The camber angle changes as the
wheel moves up and down through its
range of travel. Static camber is the camber
angle at the wheel when the vehicle is set at
its normal, stationary ride height.
The suspension pivot balls located in the
axle carriers adjust the static camber. The
pivot balls are protected by blue dust plugs. To adjust your static camber,
insert the supplied 2.5 mm hex wrench through the slit in the dust plug
and engage the end of the pivot ball (compressing the suspension until
the arms are parallel to the ground will allow for easier hex wrench
engagement). The upper pivot ball is normally screwed all
the way in. Negative camber is achieved by screwing the pivot ball of the
lower control arm out. Note: When camber is changed, the toe angle of
the wheel has to be reset.
