 The following causes may exist in the event of larger deviations:

 Too large a difference in vehicle level between the left and right side of the vehicle,

 Deformation of camber struts e.g. from damage due to an accident,

 Deformation of rear axle carrier or of chassis parts e.g. from damage due to an accident,

 Deformation of the body, e.g. due to accident damage.

 Check for impermissible deformation on the body. See: 

Check accident vehicles and vehicles possibly damaged in an accident.

4

Loosen nut of cam bolt (2) of camber strut (1) on the left side of the vehicle, adjust left rear wheel camber via the cam bolt (2), tighten nut

 Only if the left rear wheel camber angle has to be adjusted.

 Replace cam bolt (2), when bolt length greater than 65 millimeters and threaded connection has been undone.
