FLOOR JACK OR HOIST
The following illustration indicates areas (parts) of underbody and frame used to raise and support vehicle with either floor jack or hoist. These points are indicated by shaded areas on frame. (Scheme 1)
EMERGENCY JACKING
Those points designated on body outline are designed for use with vehicle's jack and are indicated by circular dots. (Scheme 1) If floor jack or hoist is employed, extreme care should be exercised to avoid damaging outer body shell.
Jacking & Hoisting Points (Typical). Scheme 1
CAMBER MEASUREMENT
- Fender panel edge dimension is used to determine camber. Dimension is measured vertically above wheel center between fender panel edge and lower edge of wheel trim. (Scheme 2)
- Read off camber angle for correct rim type against fender edge measurement obtained. Reading depends on type of wheel rim on vehicle. For example, if vehicle has a 15" aluminum rim and fender edge measurement of 23 5/16" (592 mm), camber angle should be -0.7 degrees (+/-.5 degrees). Measured camber angle on vehicle should be between -0.2 and -1.2 degrees.

Scheme 3
- Camber angle can be adjusted by altering the fixing bolt hole position for the upper spring strut mount. Remove front nut in spring strut upper retaining plate. Using a soft-faced hammer, remove front press bolt.
- Loosen rear bolt on retaining plate. Set Wrench (5038) on rear bolt and turn suspension assembly so hole in retaining plate passes hole in suspension tower at least.12" (3 mm). (Scheme 3) Mark position when hole can no longer be seen and turn wrench an additional.12" (3 mm).
- Mark position of new hole with a punch. Tighten rear nut to 35 ft. lbs. (48 N.m) so strut will not move out of position.
- Drill a new hole in retaining plate, through hole in top of suspension tower. Use care not to damage hole in suspension tower. Install and tighten front press bolt and nut. Tighten bolt in retaining plate. Remove front press bolt and replace with new bolt, nut and lock washer. Tighten bolt to 35 ft. lbs. (48 N.m).
