Scheme 20

Scheme 20
  1. Adjust the tire pressure to specifications.
  2. Set the vehicle under "curb weight" conditions. (Empty luggage compartment, install spare tire, jack, service tools, and top up fuel tank.)
  3. Set the steering wheel in a wheel-forward position.
  4. Suspend a thread from wheel arch (point "A" in figure below) to determine the point directly above center of spindle.
  5. Measure the distance between measuring point "A" and center of spindle.

Scheme 21

Scheme 21: Inspection
  1. Place the front wheel on turning radius gauge. Make sure the ground contacting surfaces of front and rear wheels are set at the same height.
  2. Set the ST into the center of the wheel, and then install the wheel alignment gauge. ST 927380002 ADAPTER NOTE: See «SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-161468-S32446435372005062300000) for the camber values. Front: see scheme 2 Rear: see scheme 3

Scheme 22

Scheme 22: Front Camber Adjustment

Scheme 23

Scheme 23
  1. Loosen the two self-locking nuts located at the lower front portion of strut. CAUTION: When the adjusting bolt needs to be loosened or tightened, hold its head with a wrench and turn the self-locking nut. Discard the loosened self-locking nut and replace with a new one.
  2. Turn the camber adjusting bolt so that the camber is set at the specification. NOTE: Moving the adjusting bolt by one scale graduation changes the camber by approximately 0°10'.
  3. Tighten the two self-locking nuts. Tightening torque: 175 N.m (17.8 kgf-m, 129 ft-lb)

Scheme 24

Scheme 24: CASTER
  1. Inspection Place the front wheel on turning radius gauge. Make sure the ground contacting surfaces of front and rear wheels are set at the same height. Set the ST into the center of the wheel, and then install the wheel alignment gauge. ST 927380002 ADAPTER NOTE: Refer to the «SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-161468-S32446435372005062300000) for the caster values. see scheme 2

Scheme 25

Scheme 25: Inspection
  1. Using a toe gauge, measure the front wheel toe-in. Toe-in: 0+/-3 mm (0+/-0.12 in)
  2. Mark the rear sides of left and right tires at height corresponding to the center of spindles and measure distance "A" between marks.
  3. Move the vehicle forward so that the marks line up with front sides at height corresponding to the center of spindles.
  4. Measure the distance "B" between left and the right marks. Toe-in can then be obtained by the following equation: A - B = Toe-in

Scheme 26

Scheme 26: Adjustment
  1. Loosen the left and right side steering tie-rods lock nuts.
  2. Turn the left and right tie rods equal amounts until the toe-in is at the specification. Both the left and right tie-rods are right-hand threaded. To increase toe-in, turn both tie-rods clockwise equal amounts (as viewed from the inside of the vehicle).
  3. Tighten the tie-rod lock nut. Tightening torque: 83 N.m (8.5 kgf-m, 61.5 ft-lb) CAUTION: Correct the tie-rod boot, if it is twisted. NOTE: Check that the left and right wheel steering angle is within specifications.
  1. Using a toe-in gauge, measure the rear wheel toe-in. Toe-in: 0+/-3 mm (0+/-0.12 in)
  2. Mark the rear sides of left and right tires at height corresponding to the center of spindles and measure distance "A" between marks.
  3. Move the vehicle forward so the that marks line up with front sides at height corresponding to the center of spindles.
  4. Measure the distance "B" between left and right marks. Toe-in can then be obtained by the following equation

A - B = Toe-in

Scheme 29

Scheme 29
  1. Loosen the self-locking nut on inner side of link rear. CAUTION: When loosening or tightening the adjusting bolt, hold the bolt head and turn self-locking nut. Discard the loosened self-locking nut and replace with a new one.
  2. Turn the adjusting bolt head until toe-in is at the specification. NOTE: When the left and right wheels are adjusted for toe-in at the same time, the movement of one scale graduation changes toe-in by approximately 1.5 mm (0.6 in).
  3. Tighten the self-locking nut. Tightening torque: 100 N.m (10.2 kgf-m, 74 ft-lb)

Scheme 30

Scheme 30: Inspection
  1. Place the vehicle on a turning radius gauge.
  2. While depressing the brake pedal, turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right. With the steering wheel held at each fully turned position, measure both the inner and outer wheel steering angle. Steering angle
  1. Check that there is no damage and distortion at the sub frame.
  2. Check that the bolts are tightened with the specified torque. If there is looseness, tighten to the specified torque. NOTE: The tightening torque differs by the color for bolt.
  3. Always verify the bolt color before checking tightening torque.
  1. Tightening torque: T1: 34 N.m (3.5 kgf-m, 25 ft-lb) T2: 55 N.m (5.6 kgf-m, 41 ft-lb) T3: 71 N.m (7.2 kgf-m, 52 ft-lb) T4: DARK GREEN bolt 105 N.m (10.7 kgf-m, 77 ft-lb) T4: Except DARK GREEN bolt 55 N.m (5.6 kgf-m, 41 ft-lb)
