ii.    Rock the cam adjuster bolt back and forth until the cam adjuster finds its neutral, or unloaded position. This will allow both right and left lower suspension arm bushings to be equally loaded.

iii.    Tighten the nuts to the cam bolt only tight enough so that the cam bolts do not move.

iv.    Lower the vehicle so that the weight of the vehicle is supported by the tires. Tighten the nuts of the cam bolts to **l29 Nm (95 ft. lbs.)** of torque.

v.    Now, front camber and/or cross caster/cross camber can be altered by installing offset upper ball joint sleeves. The following sleeves are available from Mopar.

04886060AA 0.25deg Offset Ball joint Sleeve
04886061AA 0.50deg Offset Ball joint Sleeve
04886062AA 0.75deg Offset Ball joint Sleeve
04886063AA 1.00deg Offset Ball joint Sleeve

The sleeve can be rotated a total eight different positions to be able to increase or decrease caster and/or camber.

NOTE:    THE OFFSET SALL JOINT SLEEVES SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO CORRECT FOR A CAMBER OR CROSS CASTER ADJUSTMENT. ONCE CAMBER AND CROSS CASTER ARE CORRECT, CONTINUE BY USING THE LOWER SUSPENSION ARM CAM ADJUSTERS TO ACHIEVE THE PREFERRED CASTER SETTINGS.

vi.    Before the sleeve can be installed, an alignment check must be performed with the caster cam adjusters in the equally loaded position.

Record your readings.

Left Caster__________Right Caster__________

Left Camber__________Right Camber__________

vii.    To remove the original upper ball joint sleeve, raise the vehicle on an appropriate lift that will allow the suspension to be unloaded.

viii.    Remove the tire/wheel assembly.
