WHEN REMOVING,INSTALLING,REPAIRING OR REPLACING PARTS WHEEL ALIGNMENT STANDARD

Note

If a wheel alignment has been performed, or 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:


  • Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor.


  1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

    A01CSS9N01

    Note


    • Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.

    • Be sure to perform the measurement on a level surface.

    • If it is necessary to go under the vehicle for measurement, make sure that the parking brake is applied and the vehicle is secured with chocks.


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

    2. Measure the vehicle height.

      Note

      The standard value shown here is a value that is used for adjusting the wheel alignment and does not indicate the height of an actual vehicle.

    3. FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT


      1. INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS INCLINATION


        1. A01CSU2C14
      4. *a Alignment Tester
      *b Gauge

Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge or place the front wheels on the center of a wheel alignment tester.

  • Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.

  • INSPECT TOE-IN

    Note

    Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.


    1. A01CSJ3C01
    • A01CSTV Front of the Vehicle

    Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension and inspect toe-in.

    Tech Tips

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

  • INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE


    1. A01CSSNC10
    • *a Inside
    *b Outside
    A01CSTV Front of the Vehicle

    Turn the steering wheel to the left and right full lock positions and measure the turning angle.


  • REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT


    1. INSPECT CAMBER


      1. A01CSMXC11
    • *a Gauge

    Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge or set the vehicle on a wheel alignment tester.

  • Inspect the camber.


  • INSPECT TOE-IN


    1. A01CSJ3C02
    • A01CSTV Front of the Vehicle

    Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension and inspect toe-in.

    Tech Tips

    If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.
