Alignment (camber/shim pack) question?

[Meech]

So after work today I decided to do an alignment on my 98 Honda Passport since I just put some new Kumho KL-78 AT tires on it. Anyways everything is good on it except for the LF camber which is 1.2 degrees off. After looking and tinkering a bit I have found no way out on how to remove the nut/bolt to add/remove shims without some kind of specialty tool only a Honda/Isuzu dealership (I work at a Chrysler Jeep) would have probably? The upper control arm is in the way causing a very hard awkward angle to work with. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Micah

You have to jack the frame so the control arm drops. You do it with the wheel off of course. Then you put a stand under the frame and use your jack on the lower control arm to lift a bit so you can remove the shim pack once you have loosened the bolts. Means you have to have a good idea of how much shim to use so you don't need to repeat. In your case I think about 4mm should do it. (Add for - camber, take out for + camber).

I have written a description on aligning my 99 Rodeo but I don't know how to post a pdf document, or do you cut and paste into a post? It's pretty long.

Cheers.
