MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
Measuring point A Ground clearance of lower arm front side cam bolt front end center. B Ground clearance of front axle center. C Ground clearance of rear leaf spring front side (No. 3 hanger) bolt center. D Ground clearance of rear axle center. Note
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.
If the vehicle height is not the specified value, try to adjust it by pushing down on or lifting the body.

INSPECT TOE-IN
Text in Illustration *a Front Toe-in
(total)
A + B: 0°20' (0.33°)
C - D: 4 +/- 1 mm (0.16 +/- 0.04 in.)
If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the rack ends.
-
ADJUST TOE-IN
-
Remove the rack boot set clips.
-
Loosen the 2 tie rod end lock nuts.
-
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 value.
-
Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends are the same.
-
Torque the tie rod end lock nuts.
- Torque:
- 91 N*m { 928 kgf*cm, 67 ft.*lbf }
-
Place the boots on the seats and install the clips.
Tech Tips
Make sure that the boots are not twisted.

-
INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE
-
Text in Illustration *a Inside *b Outside *c Front Turn the steering wheel fully and measure the turning angle.
Wheel turning angle: Inside wheel Outside wheel: Reference 38°00'
36°00' to 39°00')
36°00' If the right and left inside wheel angles differ from the specified value, check the right and left rack end lengths.

INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS INCLINATION
-
Text in Illustration *1 Gauge *2 Alignment Tester Install the camber-caster-kingpin gauge or position vehicle on wheel alignment tester.
-
Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.

ADJUST CAMBER AND CASTER
-
Loosen the nut and bolt.
-
Turn the camber adjust cam No. 2 and front suspension toe adjust plate No. 2 in the circumference direction, and adjust the camber and caster.

-
Measure the present alignment.
Camber 1°05' (1.08°) Caster 1°25' (1.42°) -
Mark the difference between the standard value (A) and the measured value (B) on the adjustment chart.
Standard value Camber 0°35' (0.58°) Caster 2°55' (2.92°) Formula B - A = C Camber 1°05' - (0°35') = 0°30' Caster 1°25' - 2°55' = - 1°30' -
As shown in the chart, read the distance from the marked point to 0 point, and adjust the camber and/ or toe adjusting cams accordingly.
