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.

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.
