- Rear camber cannot be adjusted. If camber is not within specification, check for damaged, loose, bent, dented or worn suspension parts. See appropriate table under «WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS»(/geo/prizm/pre-i-1989-1991/remont/wheel-alignment/#wheel-alignment-specifications-procedures). To adjust front camber, loosen upper and lower strut-to-knuckle nuts and bolts.
- Rotate adjusting bolt to adjust camber. (Scheme 6) Adjust camber to specification. See appropriate table under «WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS»(/geo/prizm/pre-i-1989-1991/remont/wheel-alignment/#wheel-alignment-specifications-procedures). Tighten upper and lower strut-to-knuckle nuts and bolts to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(/geo/prizm/pre-i-1989-1991/remont/wheel-alignment/#wheel-alignment-specifications-procedures).

METRO, STORM, STORM GSI & TRACKER
Note. To prevent incorrect camber reading, bounce vehicle several times before inspecting.
Front and rear camber cannot be adjusted. If camber is not within specification, check for damaged, loose, bent, dented or worn suspension parts. See appropriate table under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS .
CASTER ADJUSTMENT
Front and rear caster cannot be adjusted. If caster is not within specification, check for damaged, loose, bent, dented or worn suspension parts. See appropriate table under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS .
METRO
Adjust front wheel toe-in by changing tie rod length. Loosen right and left tie rod end lock nuts. Turn right and left tie rods by the same amount to adjust toe-in to specification. See appropriate table under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. Right and left tie rod length "A" should be the same. (Scheme 7) Tighten tie rod end nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
PRISM, PRISM GSI, STORM, STORM GSI & TRACKER
- Adjust front wheel toe-in by changing tie rod length. Loosen both clamps (small end) and slide from boot (except Tracker). Loosen right and left tie rod end lock nuts.
- Turn right and left tie rods by same amount to adjust toe-in to specification. See appropriate table under «WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS»(/geo/prizm/pre-i-1989-1991/remont/wheel-alignment/#wheel-alignment-specifications-procedures) . Tighten tie rod end nuts to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(/geo/prizm/pre-i-1989-1991/remont/wheel-alignment/#wheel-alignment-specifications-procedures) .

- Adjust rear wheel toe-in by rotating control rod inside bolt. (Scheme 8) Loosen right and left control rod inside nuts. Turn right and left control rod inside bolts by same amount to align toe-in to specification. See appropriate table under «WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS»(/geo/prizm/pre-i-1989-1991/remont/wheel-alignment/#wheel-alignment-specifications-procedures).
- After adjustment, tighten right and left control rod inside nuts to specification while holding control rod inside bolts. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(/geo/prizm/pre-i-1989-1991/remont/wheel-alignment/#wheel-alignment-specifications-procedures).
Scheme 8
Adjust toe-in by rotating adjusting bolt on lower control arm. (Scheme 9) Loosen nut and rotate adjusting bolt to adjust toe-in. See appropriate table under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. Tighten adjusting bolt nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
