Fig. 1 Caster & Camber Adjustments:
Camber adjustments are made by means of shims between the upper control arm inner support shaft and the support bracket attached to the frame, Fig. 1. Shims may be added, subtracted or transferred to change the readings.
Change shims at both the front and rear of the shaft. Adding an equal number of shims at both front and rear of the support shaft will decrease positive camber. One shim (1/32 inch) at each location will move camber approximately 1/6 degree.
