Camber is preset and cannot be adjusted. Check camber. See appropriate table under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS . If camber is not within specification, replace damaged or bent parts.
Montero & Montero Sport
- Check camber. See appropriate table under «WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-62262-S12357660202001100400000). If camber is not within specification, remove shock absorber mounting nut and lock nut. CAUTION: Difference in shim thickness between front and rear must not exceed 0.16" (4.0 mm). DO NOT use more than 3 shims at onelocation.
- Compress shock absorber, and loosen upper arm mounting bolts and nuts. Adjust camber by increasing or decreasing shims between upper arm shaft and crossmember. (Scheme 6)
Scheme 6
3000GT
Check camber. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS (3000GT) table. If camber is not within specification, loosen eccentric cam nut. Rotate eccentric cam bolt to obtain correct camber. (Scheme 7) Each marking represents a change of.12-.25 degree of camber.
Scheme 7
Except Montero & Montero Sport
Check caster. See appropriate table under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS . If caster is not within specification, replace damaged or bent parts.
- Check caster. See appropriate table under «WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-62262-S12357660202001100400000). If caster is not within specification, remove shock absorber mounting nut and lock nut. CAUTION: Difference in shim thickness between front and rear must not exceed.16" (4.0 mm). DO NOT use more than 3 shims at one location.
- Compress shock absorber, and loosen upper arm mounting bolts and nuts. Adjust caster by increasing or decreasing shims between upper arm shaft and crossmember. (Scheme 6)
Front
Check front toe-in. See appropriate table under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS . If front toe-in is not within specification, remove clips. Turn tie rods or turnbuckles same amount, but in opposite directions. Recheck front toe-in.
Rear (Montero & Montero Sport)
Check rear toe-in. See appropriate table under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS . If rear toe-in is not within specification, replace damaged or bent parts.
Rear (3000GT AWD)
Check rear toe-in. See appropriate table under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. If rear toe-in is not within specification, loosen both trailing arm eccentric cam nuts. Turn trailing arm eccentric cam bolts equal amount to obtain correct rear toe-in. (Scheme 8)
Rear (Except Montero, Montero Sport & 3000GT AWD)
Check rear toe-in. See appropriate table under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. If rear toe-in is not within specification, loosen both assist link eccentric cam nuts. Turn assist link eccentric cam bolts equal amount to obtain correct rear toe-in. (Scheme 9)
