Wheel Alignment Specifications & Adjustment Procedures: Other Hyundai Tiburon II

TOE-IN

Toe-in (B-A or angle alpha+beta) is adjusted by turning the tie rod turnbuckles. Toe-in on the left front wheel can be reduced by turning the tie rod toward the rear of the car. Toe-in change is adjusted by turning the tie rods for the right and left wheels simultaneously at the same amount as follows.

Standard value

Toe-in (B-A) mm (in.) : 0 n 2 mm (0 n 0.08 in.)

Scheme 14

Note. Toe-in adjustment should be made by turning the right and left tie rods at the same amount. When adjusting toe-in, loosen the outer bellows clip to prevent twisting the bellows. After the adjustment, tighten the tie rod end lock nuts firmly and reinstall the bellows clip. Adjust each toe-in to be the range of plus or minus 1mm.

Tightening torque

Tie rod end lock nuts

50~55 Nm (500~550 kgf.cm, 37~41 lbf.ft)

Scheme 15

CAMBER

The steering knuckle which is installed with the strut assembly is pre-set to the specified camber at the factory and doesn't need to be adjusted.

Camber : 0°13' +/- 30'

CASTER

Caster is pre-set at the factory and doesn't need to be adjusted. If the caster is not within the standard value, replace the bent or damaged parts.

Caster : 2°58' +/- 30'

Scheme 16

Standard value : 4 +3 -1 mm (0.16 +0.12 -0.04 in.)

Note. Adjust the toe-in by turning the tie rod end of the rear suspension arm. Left tie rod : Clockwise direction -> toe-in Right tie rod : Clockwise direction -> toe-out A variation of toe by a rotation of the tie rod : About 6mm (0.6°) The cam bolt should be adjusted to a maximum of 90° left or right from the center position.

Specified torque

50~60 Nm (500~600 kgf.cm, 37~43 lbf.ft)

TIRE WEAR

1. Measure the tread depth of the tires. Tread depth of tire [Limit] : 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
2. If the remaining tread depth is less than the limit, replace the tire.

Note. When the tread depth of the tires is less than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) the wear indicators will appear.

Scheme 18

1. Jack up the vehicle and support it with jack stands.
2. Measure the wheel runout with a dial indicator as illustrated.
3. Replace the wheel if the wheel runout exceeds the limit.

Wheel runout [Limit]

Steel wheel

Radial 0.6mm (0.028 in.) : (Average of LH & RH)

Axial 1.0mm (0.039 in.)

Aluminum wheel

Radial 0.3mm (0.012 in.)

Axial 0.3mm (0.012 in.)

LH : Left Hand side, RH : Right Hand side

WHEEL ROTATION

Rotate the tires in the pattern illustrated.

Scheme 23

1. If the steering pulls to one side, rotate the tires according to the following wheel rotation procedure. Rotate the front right and front left tires, and perform a road test in order to confirm vehicle stability. If the steering pulls to the opposite side, rotate the front and rear tires, and perform a road test again. If the steering continues to pull to one side, rotate the front right and left tires again, and perform a road test. If the steering continues to pull to the opposite side, replace the front wheels with new ones.
2. On some vehicles which drift or pull to the right only, the following procedure may be applied for fixing. Adjust tire pressure as recommended below (4 tire) prior to conducting road test. Tire inflation pressure : 2.1 kgf/cm 2 (30 psi) Front 215/45 ZR 17 tire only : 2.2 kgf/cm 2 (32 psi) To eliminate the pulling, rotate the front tires and test drive the vehicle to see if the pulling returns. If a vehicle still exhibits the pulling to the right, replace the right front strut insulator with the re-designed new part (Part No. 54610-2C000A) which increases the caster angle. See FRONT SUSPENSION .

Note. This procedure applies to the vehicle pulls to the right only. Confirm the direction of the vehicle pulling by road testing prior to performing the repair procedure. If Michelin tires are installed, do not rotate the tires because they are directional. Replace the right front strut insulator only.
