FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT

INSPECT TIRE

INSPECT VEHICLE HEIGHT

Note

Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specification.

Press down on the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension, and measure the vehicle height.

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

ADJUST TOE-IN

Detach the rack boot set clips.
Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in to the center value.

Tech Tips

The toe-in should be as close as possible to the center value.
Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends are approximately the same.

Standard difference

0 +/-1 mm (0 +/-0.039 in.)
Tighten the tie rod end lock nuts.

Torque:

56 N*m { 566 kgf*cm, 41 ft.*lbf }
Place the boots on the seats and attach the clips.

Tech Tips

Make sure that the boots are not twisted.

If the camber and caster are not as specified, adjust them.

If the steering axis inclination is not as specified after the camber and caster have been correctly adjusted, check the steering knuckle and front wheel for distortion or looseness.

ADJUST CAMBER AND CASTER

Note

After the camber has been adjusted, inspect the toe-in.

Loosen the camber adjusting cam nut and camber adjusting cam bolt.
Turn the No. 1 camber adjusting cam and No. 2 camber adjusting cam in both directions, and adjust the camber and caster to the center value.
The camber and caster should be as close as possible to the center value.

How to read the adjustment chart (using examples).

Find the standard wheel alignment value applicable for the particular model.

Mark the selected standard value on the adjustment chart.

Standard Value (Reference)

Camber	Caster
0°00' (0.00°)	4°20' (4.33°)

Mark the alignment value on the adjustment chart as measured when the vehicle is unloaded.

Measured Value (Reference)

Camber	Caster
0°10' (0.17°)	3°50' (3.83°)

As shown in the chart, read the distance from the marked point to 0, and adjust the front and/or rear adjusting cams accordingly.
