An inverted strut layout (with the cylinder at the top
and the piston at the bottom) is used. This layout
offers superior rigidity and consequently improved
camber stiffness. Further, either of two camber
angles can be selected in accordance with operating
conditions. The camber angle is determined by the
alignment of an eccentric bolt at the top of the joint
between the strut assembly and knuckle. Vehicles
leave the factory with a camber angle of -1 degree
angle selected. (An arrow on the eccentric bolt is
pointing toward the inside of the vehicle.) For a cam-
ber angle of -2 degree angle, the bolt must be posi-
tioned with its arrow pointing toward the outside of
the vehicle.
