12.Adjust Camber to -2,3 degree in the front and -1,1 degree in the rear.
Measure wheel inclination using digital leveller. Lift corner with crane. Loosen
bolts holding the camber adjustment bracket using wrenches. Insert/remove shim
or adjust (depending on car). Remember to shake and roll the car when lowered.
Q: Which way is positive camber? Positive camber when the top of the wheel goes
away from the chassis
Q: What is camber thrust? Camber thrust is the perpendicular force to the
direction in which the tire is rolling (negative camber => camber thrust inwards)
Procedure:
- Back up the car so that it no longer touches the scales
- Make sure the steering is facing forward, put a mark on the steering wheel and
the dashboard (to make sure the steering is roughly facing the right way)
- Shake the car in all directions (do a dive, squad and roll)
- Raise the corner of the car so that the tire which you want to modify the camber
doesn’t touch the ground
- Fix the level on the left front wheel
- Loosen the screws used for the camber
- Adjust the tightening of the screws to adjust the camber
- Lower the car
- Shake the car and roll it back and forth
- Check that the camber has remained constant otherwise repeat until to obtain
the correct camber
- Raise the car
- Repeat this operation on the front right tire, then the rear left and right tire.
