Scheme 3

Scheme 3
  1. Measure camber and caster of both the right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and adjust as necessary to specification.
  2. If outside of the specified value, adjust camber and caster using the adjusting bolts in the lower links. CAUTION: After adjusting the camber then check the toe-in. NOTE: Camber changes about 3' (0.11°) minutes with each graduation of one adjusting bolt. Refer to table below for examples of lower link adjusting bolt effect on camber and caster.

  3. Tighten the adjusting bolt nuts to specification.

TOE-IN

WARNINGAlways perform the following procedure on a flat surface. Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before pushing it.

  1. Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
  2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
  3. 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.
  4. Measure the distance "A" on the rear side of the front tires as shown.
  5. 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.
  6. Measure the distance "B" on the front side of the front tires at the same marks as shown. Total toe-in is calculated as "A" - "B". Total toe-in: Refer to «SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-162198-S13638764032004051900000)
  7. Adjust the toe-in by varying the length of the steering outer tierods. 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 specification.

FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE

Note. Check front wheel turning angle after the toe-in inspection.

Scheme 7

Scheme 7: FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
  1. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges in straight ahead position and rear wheels on stands so that vehicle can be level. Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH and RH road wheels.
  2. Start engine and run at idle, turn steering wheel all the way right and left, measure the turning angle. Wheel turning angle (full turn): Refer to «SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-162198-S13638764032004051900000) . Any turning angles are not adjustable. If any of steering angles are out of the specification, check if the following parts are worn or damaged. Steering gear Steering column Front suspension components If found that they are worn or damaged, replace them with new ones.

Use illustration for front wheel alignment specifications. (Scheme 7)
