CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION
Note. Camber, caster and kingpin inclination are preset at factory and cannot be adjusted.
Scheme 10
- Measure the camber, caster and kingpin inclination of both the right and left wheels using attachment Tool and a suitable alignment gauge. Camber, caster and kingpin inclination : Refer to " «SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-162165-S37760684212004051800000) ".
- If the camber, caster or kingpin inclination is not within specification, inspect the front suspension parts. Replace any damaged or worn out parts.
TOE-IN
| WARNING | Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface. Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before pushing it. |
Scheme 11

Scheme 13
Scheme 14
- Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
- Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
- Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both front tires at the same height as hub center as shown. These marks are measuring points.
- Measure the distance "A" on the rear side of the front tires as shown.
- Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180° degrees (1/2 a turn). CAUTION: If the wheels have rotated more than 180° degrees (1/2 turn), start this procedure again from the beginning. Never push the vehicle backward.
- Measure the distance "B" on the front side of the front tires at the same marks as shown. Total toe-in: Refer to " «SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-162165-S37760684212004051800000) ".
- Adjust the toe-in by varying the length of the steering outer tie-rods. Loosen the outer tie-rod lock nuts. Adjust the toe-in by screwing the outer tie-rods in or out. Tighten the outer tie-rod lock nuts to specified torque. Lock nut: (Scheme 14)
Scheme 15
- Set the front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Then move the vehicle forward until the front wheels rest on the turning radius gauge as shown.
- Rotate steering wheel all the way right and left; measure the turning angles "A" and "B" as shown. Wheel turning angle (full turn) : Refer to " «SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-162165-S37760684212004051800000) ".
Use illustrations for front and rear wheel alignment specifications. (Scheme 16)and (Scheme 17).
