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


  1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

    Note

    A00YIOUE01

    • 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.

      Tech Tips

      If the vehicle height is not as specified, press down on the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension. Then measure the vehicle height again.

    3. FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT


      1. INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS INCLINATION

      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


    1. A00YIJ7E05

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

    • A00YINN Front of the Vehicle

    • Tech Tips

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

  • INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE


    1. A00YIL4E11
    • *a Inside
    *b Outside
    A00YINN Front of the Vehicle

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

    If the angles are not as specified, check and adjust the right and left rack end lengths.

  • REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT


    1. INSPECT TOE-IN


      1. A00YIJ7E05

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

    • A00YINN Front of the Vehicle

    Tech Tips

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

  • INSPECT CAMBER


    1. A00YIK3E10
    • *a Gauge

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

  • Inspect the camber.

    If the measured value is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and wear. Replace parts as necessary as the camber cannot be properly adjusted with any damaged or worn parts.
