MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
| Engine | Tire Size | Front A-B | Rear C-D |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1NR-FE 1ND-TV |
185/65R 15 185/60R 16 |
97 mm (3.82 in.) |
28 mm (1.10 in.) |
| 1NR-FE | 185/60R 15 | 80 mm (3.15 in.) |
8 mm (0.32 in.) |
| 1NZ-FE | 175/60R 16 | 96 mm (3.78 in.) |
33 mm (1.30 in.) |
Note
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, check the vehicle height.
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.
Tech Tips
Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension before inspecting the vehicle height.
INSPECT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
| *a | Inside |
| *b | Outside |
|
Front of the Vehicle |
Fully turn the steering wheel left and right, and measure the wheel turning angle.
| Engine | Tire Size | Inside Wheel | Outside Wheel (Reference) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1NR-FE 1ND-TV |
185/65R 15 185/60R 16 |
34°55' | 31°14' |
| 1NR-FE | 185/60R 15 | 35°11' | 31°35' |
| 1NZ-FE | 175/60R 16 | 39°57' | 34°35' |
If the right and left inside wheel angles are not within the specified range, check the right and left rack end lengths.
INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS INCLINATION
| *1 | Alignment tester |
| *2 | Camber-caster-steering axis inclination gauge |
Put the front wheel on the center of the alignment tester.
Remove the wheel cap.
Set the camber-caster-steering axis inclination gauge at the center of the axle hub or drive shaft.
Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.
| Engine | Tire Size | Camber |
|---|---|---|
| 1NR-FE 1ND-TV |
185/65R 15 185/60R 16 |
-0°15' +/- 45' |
| 1NR-FE | 185/60R 15 | -0°04' +/- 45' |
| 1NZ-FE | 175/60R 16 | -0°14' +/- 45' |
| Engine | Tire Size | Caster |
|---|---|---|
| 1NR-FE 1ND-TV |
185/65R 15 185/60R 16 |
4°47' +/- 45' |
| 1NR-FE | 185/60R 15 | 4°30' +/- 45' |
| 1NZ-FE | 175/60R 16 | 5°02' +/- 45' |
| Engine | Tire Size | Steering Axis Inclination (Reference) |
|---|---|---|
| 1NR-FE 1ND-TV |
185/65R 15 185/60R 16 |
11°29' |
| 1NR-FE | 185/60R 15 | 11°05' |
| 1NZ-FE | 175/60R 16 | 11°29' |
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.
Remove the camber-caster-steering axis inclination gauge and attachment.
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.
INSPECT TOE-IN (FRONT)
Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.
Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to the neutral position.
Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step A)
| *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).
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.
Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front side of the wheels (Dimension A).
|
Front of the Vehicle |
| Engine | Specified Condition |
|---|---|
| 1NR-FE 1ND-TV |
B-A: 1.5 +/- 2.0 mm (0.0591 +/- 0.08 in.) |
| 1NZ-FE | B-A: 1.4 +/- 2.0 mm (0.0551 +/- 0.08 in.) |
If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the rack ends.
INSPECT CAMBER (REAR)
Install the camber-caster-kingpin gauge and position the rear wheel on the alignment tester.
Inspect the camber.
| Engine | Tire Size | Camber | Right - left error |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1NR-FE 1ND-TV |
185/65R 15 185/60R 16 |
-0°56' +/- 30' | 0°30' |
| 1NR-FE | 185/60R 15 | -0°53' +/- 30' | |
| 1NZ-FE | 175/60R 16 | -0°57' +/- 30' |
Note
The tolerance for the difference between the left and right wheels is 30' (0.5°) or less for both cambers. If the camber is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.
INSPECT TOE-IN (REAR)
|
Front |
| Engine | Tire Size | B - A |
|---|---|---|
| 1NR-FE 1ND-TV |
185/65R 15 | 3.2 +/- 3.0 mm (0.126 +/- 0.118 in.) |
| 185/60R 16 | 3.3 +/- 3.0 mm (0.130 +/- 0.118 in.) |

| 1NR-FE | 185/60R 15 | 2.5 +/- 3.0 mm (0.098 +/- 0.118 in.) |
| 1NZ-FE | 175/60R 16 | 3.6 +/- 3.0 mm (0.142 +/- 0.118 in.) |
If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.
