  1. If the front camber is not within the service allowable range, estimate how much you need to move the front camber. Select the appropriate combination of bolts in order to move the front camber to be within the service allowable range. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications .
  2. • In order to move the camber +/- 0.25 degree, use bolt (1), GM P/N 94846618, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (2), GM P/N 94851541, in the lower bolt position.
    • In order to move the camber +/- 0.50 degree, use bolt (1), GM P/N 94846618, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (3), GM P/N 94851542, in the lower bolt position.
    • In order to move the camber +/- 0.75 degree, use bolt (1), GM P/N 94846618, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (4), GM P/N 94851543, in the lower bolt position.
    • In order to move the camber +/- 1.00 degree, use bolt (2), GM P/N 94851541, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (4), GM P/N 94851543, in the lower bolt position.
    • In order to move the camber +/- 1.25 degree, use bolt (3), GM P/N 94851542, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (4), GM P/N 94851543, in the lower bolt position.
    • In order to move the camber +/- 1.50 degree, use bolt (4), GM P/N 94851543, in the upper bolt position, and bolt (4), GM P/N 94851543, in the lower bolt position.

  17. Push or pull on the top of the tire and wheel assembly in order to move the camber to be within the service allowable range. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications .
  18. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

  19. Tighten the nuts and the bolts on the lower side of the strut.
