– Do not remove any other bolts until the previously un‐
screwed bolt has been replaced by a new one.
The camber adjustment range is limited by the tolerances of
the holes in the subframe. If the specified value is not reached
by shifting the subframe, the subframe and the body must be
inspected.
– Now camber may be adjusted to specification by moving
subframe.
– Move subframe -1- sideways until camber is the same on
both sides ⇒ Rep. gr. 44; Specifications for wheel alignment.
– Tighten bolts -2-.
