Camber Adjustment
| CAUTION | Adjust the camber before adjusting the caster. |
Note. The camber and caster change largely if the front cam is adjusted due to the suspension construction. If the rear cam is adjusted, the caster largely, however, the camber barely changes. Therefore, adjust the camber (front cam) and then the caster (rear cam) to adjust the alignment efficiently.

- Loosen the fixing nut of the adjusting cam bolt (front lower arm front side.)
- Rotate the adjusting cam bolt in either direction to adjust the camber.

Note. The camber and caster change largely if the front cam is adjusted due to the suspension construction. If the rear cam is adjusted, the caster largely, however, the camber barely changes. Therefore, adjust the camber (front cam) and then the caster (rear cam) to adjust the alignment efficiently.

- Loosen the installation nut of the adjusting cam bolt (front lower arm rear side.)
- Rotate the adjusting cam bolt in either direction to adjust the caster.

- Tighten the nut. Tightening torque 117.7-137.3 N.m {12.1-14.0 kgf.m, 86.9-101.2 ft.lbf}
- Adjust the camber and total toe-in.
Scheme 14
Total Toe-In Adjustment
- Loosen the locknut of the tie-rod end.
- Remove the rack boot clamp.
- Adjust the total toe-in by rotating each tie rod (left and right) in the opposite directions by the same amount respectively. Total Toe-in Standard 2±4 mm {0.08±0.15 in} (0°11'±21') NOTE: Toe angle changes by approx. 5 mm {0.2 in} per one rotation of the tie rod for one wheel. Each tie rod has a left-hand thread. When increasing the toe-in angle, rotate the right tie rod toward the rear of the vehicle, and rotate the left tie rod toward the front of the vehicle by the same amount.
- Tighten the locknut of the tie-rod end. Tightening torque 68.6-98.0 N.m {7.00-9.99 kgf.m, 50.6-72.2 ft.lbf}
- Verify that the rack boot does not have any twisting, and install the rack boot clamp.
