Adjusting Camber on a Ford Edge
To adjust the camber on a Ford Edge, you can use the cam bolt on the inboard side of the toe link. The toe adjuster will have a greater effect on toe than the rear adjuster. A successful method has been to adjust camber using both adjusters until camber is correct and toe is at or near zero. The front adjuster can be used to fine-tune the toe adjustment. It’s important to ensure that the camber adjustment stays close.
If you are experiencing negative camber, it’s important to address it as excessive negative camber can cause abnormal tire wear on the inside edge of the tire. On the other hand, excessive positive camber can cause abnormal tire wear on the outside edge of the tire.
If you need specific parts for adjusting the camber on your Ford Edge, there are camber kits available for purchase from various retailers, including Moog and Advance Auto Parts.
