2005 Buick LeSabre Camber and Alignment Kit

You should set the tire pressures to the pressure shown on the certification label, check the fuel level, add additional weight if necessary to simulate a full tank, ensure the rear compartment is empty except for the spare tire, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface, and close the doors and the hood. All dimensions are measured vertically to the ground. Trim heights should be within 13 mm (0.5 inches) to be considered correct.

You should loosen the lock nuts on the tie rod, rotate the inner tie rod to adjust the toe, and adjust the boots as needed in order to prevent damage.

You can not allow the bolts to turn. This will ruin the serrated shoulder. It is necessary to grind the lower bolt hole on the strut to achieve a proper camber setting. If camber specification is not achieved by this procedure you should check for bent or worn parts.

You should remove the top 3 fasteners from the strut tower, lift the front of the vehicle by the body in order to separate the strut from the inner wheelhouse, pop out the 2 guide pins, and hand file the excess metal in order to make slotted holes, paint the exposed metal using rust preventative paint or primer, lower the front of the vehicle, install the strut attaching fasteners, move the top of the strut forward or rearward in order to adjust the caster and perform a complete wheel alignment.

You should install the alignment equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions, jounce the front and the rear bumpers 3 times before checking the wheel alignment, measure the alignment angles and record the readings and adjust alignment angles to vehicle specification, if necessary.
