400 – Front Axle, Anti-Roll Bar, Dampers and Steering
400 – 2.5 Camber Adjustment
Front Axle
On the front axle, the static camber is adjusted by adding or removing camber
shims between the upper wishbone mounting and the upright. A change in
camber also influences the toe angle. For this reason, the toe angle must be
corrected by adjusting the toe rod length. See table below.

*)…1 Flat equals 60 ° (hexagonal as reference). The values in the table are rounded to 0.5 flat.
Rear Axle
On the rear axle, the static camber is adjusted by adding or removing camber
shims between the upper wishbone mounting and the upright, and between the
toe rod mounting and the upright.
The static camber can be adjusted without influencing the toe angle. To achieve
this a pair of camber shims must be changed – which means the same coloured
shim must be fitted to the toe rod and the upper wishbone.
