    2. A01KEU4

      Using a dial indicator, check the tire runout.

      Tire runout
      3.0 mm (0.039 in.) or less

  2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

    A01KI0GE01
    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.

    Vehicle height: mm (in.)
    Model B - A C - D
    LY225L-TBMDS(3) 7 (0.276) 72 (2.835)
    LY225R-TBMDS(3) 14 (0.551) 71 (2.795)
    LY235L-TBMFS(3) 13 (0.512) 62 (2.441)
    LY235R-TBMFS(3) 19 (0.748) 61 (2.402)
    LY235R-TLMGS 4 (0.157) 72 (2.835)
    LY235R-TLMKS 2 (0.079) 74 (2.913)

  3. INSPECT TOE-IN

    A01KGZUE23

    *a Front
    Just low:

    Toe-in

    (total)

    A + B: 0°05' (0.08°)

    C - D: 1 +/- 1 mm (0.04 +/- 0.04 in.)
    Except just low:

    Toe-in

    (total)

    A + B: 0°09' (0.15°)

    C - D: 2 +/- 1 mm (0.08 +/- 0.04 in.)

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

  4. ADJUST TOE-IN


    1. Loosen the tie rod end lock nut.

    2. A01KF2Q

      Turn the tie rod by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.

      Tech Tips

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

    3. A01KEMT

      Tighten the tie rod end lock nut.

      Torque:
      137 N*m  { 1397 kgf*cm, 101 ft.*lbf }

  5. INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE


    1. A01KG4HE20
      Text in Illustration
      *a Inside
      *b Outside
      *c Front

      Turn the steering wheel fully and measure the turning angle.

      Just low
      Inside wheel Outside wheel: Reference

      43°00'

      40°00' to 43°00'

      		 33°00'
      Except just low
      Inside wheel Outside wheel: Reference

      37°00'

      34°00' to 37°00'

      		 30°00'

      If the right and left inside wheel angles differ from the specified value, check the right and left rack end lengths.

  6. ADJUST WHEEL ANGLE


    1. A01KGRL

      Fix the knuckle stopper bolt, loosen the nut.

    2. Adjust the knuckle stopper bolt length.

    3. Fix the knuckle stopper bolt, tighten the nut.

      Torque:
      24 N*m  { 245 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      When the steering wheel is fully turned, make sure that the wheel is not touching the body or brake flexible hose.

  7. INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS INCLINATION


    1. A01KHZDE26
      Text in Illustration
      *1 Gauge
      *2 Alignment Tester

      Install the camber, caster, kingpin gauge or position vehicle on wheel alignment tester.

    2. Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.

      Camber and steering axis inclination
      Camber Steering axis inclination
      1° +/- 1° 7° +/- 1°
      Caster:
      Model Caster
      LY225L-TBMDS(3) 1° +/- 1°
      LY225R-TBMDS(3) 1° +/- 1°
      LY235L-TBMFS(3) 1°10' +/- 1° (1.17° +/- 1°)
      LY235R-TBMFS(3) 1°10' +/- 1° (1.17° +/- 1°)
      LY235R-TLMGS 2° +/- 1°
      LY235R-TLMKS 2°10' +/- 1° (2.17° +/- 1°)

      If the cater and steering axis inclination are not within the specified values, after the camber has been correctly adjusted, recheck the suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts.
