Rear Alignment

Camber & Toe Alignment:

Caster and camber settings are determined by the location of vehicle's suspension components. No adjustment of caster and camber is possible after vehicle is built or when servicing suspension components. Caster and camber are not normally considered an adjustable specification when performing an alignment on this vehicle.

CASTER

If caster is not within specifications, check for damaged suspension components or body damage causing component locations to change.
- No adjustment is possible for caster.

CAMBER

1. Correctly position vehicle on alignment rack and install all required equipment, per alignment equipment specifications.
2. Jounce vehicle and read rear alignment settings and compare to specifications.
3. If camber readings obtained are not within specifications, a Mopar Service Kit will be required.
4. Raise and support vehicle, then remove original upper bolt attaching rear strut clevis bracket to rear knuckle.
5. Loosen lower bolt attaching strut clevis bracket to rear knuckle only enough to allow knuckle to move in clevis bracket.
6. Install bolt from service kit into upper strut clevis bracket to rear knuckle mounting hole.
7. Install nut provided by service kit on replacement bolt.
8. Tighten upper bolt and nut from service kit until snug, but still allowing movement between strut clevis bracket and knuckle.
9. Remove original lower bolt and install bolt from service kit into lower strut clevis bracket hole. Install nut and tighten until snug.
10. Lower vehicle until full weight is supported by suspension, then jounce front and rear of vehicle an equal number of times.
11. Adjust camber to preferred setting by pushing or pulling top of tire.
12. Tighten upper and lower strut clevis bracket bolts.
13. Jounce vehicle an equal number of times and verify rear camber setting. When vehicle is at correct setting, torque rear strut clevis brackets to 70 ft.-lbs.
