To adjust the camber, loosen the inner lower control arm cam-bolt nuts and adjust the cam-bolt to the correct specification. You will need to safely raise the vehicle off the ground to make the adjustment, However you won't get a true reading of camber until the vehicle is back on the ground. I would suggest SMALL adjustments then get BOTH sides checked for the camber alignment.
By twisting the bolts in the lower arm the offset collars on them shift the lower arm in and out to correct the camber.
Castor and camber are two separate adjustments.
Castor is how far the suspension strut leans forward or backwards and adjustment is very limited.
Camber is the tilt of the wheels top to bottom measured across the car. How far apart are the wheels at the top compared to the distance at the bottom. Adjustment depends on the suspension fitted. Like castor, camber adjustment can be limited. So work out which one it is you to adjust.
If you put on new struts the bottom bolt hole is oblong for camber adjustments.Where the old struts bottom hole was not. If you put a jack under the lower control arm, jack the wheel off the ground and adjust the struts camber to where the wheel looks straight.And tighten bolts.
1. Original control arm does not allow adjustment of caster and camber. caster and camber may be adjusted only by using adjustment kit ( gm # 15538596 ) Raise vehicle, and support under lower control arms.
remove and discard upper control arm to frame bracket bolts, nuts and washer.
2. remove large washers welded to upper control arm frame brackets. remove wield beads from upper control arm brackets. grind area smooth. install adjustment cans to bracket.
3. install bolt,adjust caster and camber to specifications by rotating bolt head.
I don't think this vehicle is equipped with provisions allowing a camber adjustment in the rear. If there are adjustments provided, there will be cam bolts in the lower control arms for adjustment. If there are no adjustment bolts, and the camber is out, usually there will be something bent. Also check rear ride height which can affect camber for a broken spring.
the camber has to be adjusted on an wheel alignment machine. after that is adjusted, then the "toe in" is adjusted. You cant adjust one with affecting the other. but camber has to be done first.
There is no camber adjustment from the factory,however moog sells a camber bolt kit that will allow for adjustment. About 20 bucks . If you are talking about the rear of the car,ride height makes a drastic change in camber. If the springs start to get weak the camber will go negative,spring spacers will correct this.
camber adjustment is not provided for by the factory, to provide a way to adjust this calls for a special "Camber" kit to be installed, contact Napa auto parts is bet choice to gethis kit.
