  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. C362078N01

      Measure the vehicle height.

      • Measurement Points:

      • A: Ground clearance of front wheel center

      • B: Ground clearance of front lower No. 1 suspension arm sub-assembly x front suspension crossmember 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

      6°46' +/- 0°45' (6.77° +/- 0.75°)

      0°45' (0.75°) or less

      225/50R18

      6°47' +/- 0°45' (6.°78 +/- 0.75°)

  3. 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. C188968C01

      Tread Center Mark

      *b

      Dimension B
      V100135

      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).

    5. Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the front wheels to rotate 180°. Use the front tire valve as a reference point.

      Tip:

      Do not allow the wheels to rotate more than 180°. If the wheels rotate more than 180°, perform the procedure from step C again.

    6. C188969C01

      *a

      Dimension A
      V100135

      Front of the Vehicle

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

      Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)

      Specified Condition

      C + D: 0°07' +/- 0°10' (0.12° +/- 0.17°)

      B - A: 1.5 +/- 2.0 mm (0.0591 +/- 0.0787 in.)
      Tip:

      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.
