|---|---|---|
| 225/65R17 | -1°15' +/-45' (-1.25° +/-0.75°) | 45' (0.75°) or less |
| 225/60R18 | -1°20' +/-45' (-1.33° +/-0.75°) | 45' (0.75°) or less |
- If the measured value is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and wear. Replace parts as necessary as the camber cannot be properly adjusted with any damaged or worn parts.
4. INSPECT TOE-IN
