HINT: 

After the camber has been adjusted, inspect the toe-in.

1. Loosen the front adjusting cam bolt and rear adjusting cam nut.
2. Turn the front adjusting cam and rear adjusting cam in both directions, and adjust the camber and caster to the center value.

   HINT: 

   • The camber and caster should be as close as possible to the center value.
   • Adjust the camber and caster within +/-30'.

HINT: 

Perform the yaw rate sensor zero point calibration (Refer to CALIBRATION [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).

HINT: 

Some systems need to be initialized after the wheel alignment is adjusted (Refer to INITIALIZATION [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).
