Front you need to drill out the alignment pin to allow adjustment. After it's removed, the tophat bolts are loosened and adjusted.


For the rear you need to loosen and rotate the rear lower control arm bolt.

On the rear, loosen the nut holding the eccentric bolt. Once loose, take your wrench and rotate the bolt itself. The bolt will only rotate out so far before it begins to come back in. Once you get it to where you want, hold the bolt in place and tighten the nut back down. I believe it is 122ft.lbs. to torque spec.

Guess you're saying: It's already loose, a major problem. How are you measuring camber?

How are you measuring toe? You must be aware that you should check toe after a camber adjust.
