Due to the design of the rear suspension and the incorporation of stub axles or wheel spindles, it is possible to adjust the camber and toe of the rear wheels on these vehicles. Adjustment is controlled by adding shims approximately 0.010 inch thick between the spindle mounting surface and spindle mounting plate. The amount of adjustment is approximately 0° 18' per shim.
