Front Wheel Alignment Check and Adjustment

TOE-IN
Measure wheel alignment with alignment equipment on a level surface.
The front suspension, steering system, and wheels should be serviced to normal condition prior to measurement of wheel alignment.

Standard value: (0 ± 3 mm (0 ± 0.12 inch)





NOTE:
1. If the toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust the toe-in by undoing the clips and turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite directions).
2. The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear of the vehicle.

Steering Angle:
Inner Wheel: (39° 00' ± 2°)
Outer Wheel: 30° 30'

CAMBER AND CASTER


Camber: (0° 00' ± 30') [Left/right deviation within 30']
Caster: (4° 20' ± 1° 30') [Left/right deviation within 30']

NOTE:
1. Camber and caster are preset at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
2. If camber is not within the standard value, check and replace bent or damaged parts.



3. For vehicles with aluminum type wheels, attach the camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the drive shaft by using the special tool. Tighten the special tool to the same torque [196 - 255 Nm (142 - 184 ft. 1bs.)] as the drive shaft nut.

CAUTION: Never subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle load when the drive shaft nuts are loosened.

BALL JOINT DUST COVER CHECK
1. Check the dust cover for cracks or damage by pushing it with finger.
2. If the dust cover is cracked or damaged, replace the upper arm assembly, compression lower arm assembly, lateral lower arm assembly or stabilizer link.

NOTE: Cracks or damage of the dust cover may cause damaged of the ball joint.
