FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

For vehicles equipped with VSC, if wheel alignment has been adjusted, and if suspension or underbody components have been removed/installed or replaced, be sure to perform the following initialization procedure in order for the system to function normally:


  1. Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor and test mode inspection.

      Note


      • Perform the inspection while the vehicle is empty (without a spare tire or tools on board).

      • The tolerance for the difference between the left and right wheels is 30' (0.5°) or less for both the camber and caster.

    5. Remove the camber-caster-steering axis inclination gauge and attachment.

    6. Install the wheel cap.

      If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the specified values after the camber has been correctly adjusted, recheck the suspension parts for damage and wear.

      Note


      • Perform the inspection while the vehicle is empty (without a spare tire or tools on board).

      • The tolerance for the difference between the left and right wheels is 30' (0.5°) or less for both the camber and caster.

    5. Remove the camber-caster-steering axis inclination gauge and attachment.

    6. Install the wheel cap.

      If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the specified values after the camber has been correctly adjusted, recheck the suspension parts for damage and wear.

  8. ADJUST CAMBER

    Note

    Inspect the toe-in after the camber has been adjusted.


    1. Remove the front wheel.

    2. A01VL8Z

      Remove the bolt and separate the speed sensor and flexible hose.

    3. A01VLSU

      Remove the 2 nuts from the lower side of the shock absorber.

      Tech Tips

      Keep the bolt from rotating while loosening and removing the nuts.

    4. Clean the installation surfaces of the shock absorber and steering knuckle.

    5. Provisionally install the 2 nuts (Step A).

    6. A01VEYWE04

      Fully push or pull the axle hub in the direction of the required adjustment (Step B).

    7. A01VLSU

      Tighten the 2 nuts.

      Torque:
      164 N*m  { 1672 kgf*cm, 121 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      Keep the bolt from rotating while loosening and removing the nuts.

    8. A01VL8Z

      Install the flexible hose and speed sensor with the bolt.

      Torque:
      29 N*m  { 300 kgf*cm, 22 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Install the flexible hose and speed sensor without twisting them.

    9. Install the front wheel.

      Torque:
      103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }
    10. A01VJZGE01

      Check the camber.

      If the measured value is not within the specifications, calculate the required adjustment amount using the formula below.

      (Camber adjustment amount) = Center of specified range - Measured value

      Check the combination of installed bolts. Select appropriate bolts from the table below to adjust the camber to within the specified range.

      Tech Tips

      Try to adjust the camber to the center of the specified range.

      Move axle toward (+) in step (B) Refer to table (1) (Move axle toward positive side)
      Move axle toward (-) in step (B) Refer to table (2) (Move axle toward negative side)

    11. Table (1) (Move the axle toward the positive side)

      A01VHO0E35

    12. Table (2) (Move the axle toward the negative side).

      A01VHO0E36

      The body and suspension may be damaged if the camber is not correctly adjusted in accordance with the above table.

      Note

      Replace the nut with a new one when replacing the bolt.

    13. Repeat the steps mentioned above. At step (A), replace 1 or 2 selected bolts.

      Tech Tips

      Replace one bolt at a time when replacing 2 bolts.

  9. INSPECT TOE-IN (for TMC Made)


    1. Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.

    2. Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to the neutral position.

    3. Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step A)

    4. A01VKZKE04

      *a Tread Center Mark

      Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of the front wheels and measure the distance between the marks (Dimension B).

    5. Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the front wheels to rotate 180° using the front tire valve as a reference point.

      Tech Tips

      Do not allow the wheels to rotate more than 180°. If the wheels rotate more than 180°, perform the procedure from (Step A) again.

    6. A01VID7E04

      Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front side of the wheels (Dimension A).

      If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the rack ends.

  11. ADJUST TOE-IN (for TMC Made)

    A01VDOA

    1. Measure the thread lengths of the right and left rack ends.

      Standard
      Difference in thread length of 1.5 mm (0.0591 in.) or less

    2. Remove the rack boot set clips.

    3. Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.

    4. Adjust the rack ends if the difference in thread length between the right and left rack ends is not within the specified range.


      1. Extend the shorter rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the outer-side.

      2. Shorten the longer rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the inner-side.

    5. Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.

      Tech Tips

      Try to adjust the toe-in to the center of the specified range.

    6. Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends are the same.

      Difference in thread length of 1.5 mm (0.0591 in.) or less

    2. Remove the rack boot set clips.

    3. Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.

    4. Adjust the rack ends if the difference in thread length between the right and left rack ends is not within the specified range.


      1. Extend the shorter rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the outer-side.

      2. Shorten the longer rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the inner-side.

    5. Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.

      Tech Tips

      Try to adjust the toe-in to the center of the specified range.

    6. Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends are the same.
