  1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

    Note


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

    • Be sure to perform measurement on a level surface.

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

    • Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

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


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

    2. B005528N02

      Measure the vehicle height.


        Measurement Points:

      • A: Ground clearance of front wheel center


      • B: Ground clearance of front lower suspension arm assembly x front suspension member sub-assembly set bolt center


      • C: Ground clearance of rear wheel center


      • D: Ground clearance of rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly x rear suspension member sub-assembly set bolt center

    3. INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS INCLINATION (FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT)

      Note

      Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.


      1. B00558OC16
      4. *a Turning Radius Gauge
      *b Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge

Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge and place the front wheels on the center of a turning radius gauge.

  • Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.

  • INSPECT TOE-IN (FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT)

    Note

    Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.


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

    2. Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N.

    3. Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step C)

    4. B00556BC01
    • *a Tread Center Mark
    *b Dimension B
    B0054YR Front of the Vehicle

    • 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°. Use 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 C again.

  • B0055A8C01
    *a Dimension A
    B0054YR Front of the Vehicle

    Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front of the wheels (dimension A).

    Tech Tips

    Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured.

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

  • INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE (FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT)


    1. B00556VC03
    • *a Inside
    *b Outside
    B0054YR Front of the Vehicle

    Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of a turning radius gauge.

  • Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right and measure the turning angle.

    Note

    Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.


  • INSPECT CAMBER (REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT)

    The necessary procedures (adjustment, calibration, initialization, or registration) that must be performed after completing the rear wheel alignment procedure are shown below.

    1. Clear zero point calibration data and system information.

    2. Perform yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point calibration and store system information.

    • DTCs are stored

    • Slip indicator light illuminates

    *1: w/ TFT Meter Type

    Note

    Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.


    1. B005549C10
      *a Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge

      Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge.

    2. Inspect the camber.

      Tech Tips

      Camber is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear, and replace them if necessary.

    3. INSPECT TOE-IN (REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT)

      Note

      Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.


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

      2. Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N.

      3. Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step A)

      4. B00556BC02
      4. *a Tread Center Mark
      *b Dimension B
      B0054YR Front of the Vehicle

      Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of the rear wheels and measure the distance between the marks (dimension B).

    4. Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the rear wheels to rotate 180°. Use the rear 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.

    5. B0055A8C02
      *a Dimension A
      B0054YR Front of the Vehicle

      Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front of the rear wheels (dimension A).

      Tech Tips

      Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured.

      If the toe-in is not within the specified range, adjust it at the rear suspension toe adjust cam sub-assembly.
