Front Wheel Alignment

CAUTION:
1) Toe-in adjustment should be made by turning the right and left tie rods the same amount.
2) When adjusting toe-in, loosen the outer bellows clip to prevent twisting the bellows. After the adjustment, firmly tighten the tie rod end lock nuts and reinstall the bellows clip.

Toe (B - A) mm (inch.) [Standard value]:
3 mm in - 3 mm out (0.12 in - 0.12 out)

Tightening torque
Tie rod end lock nuts tightening torque: 50 - 55 Nm (500 - 550 kg.cm, 36 - 40 ft. lbs.)

CAMBER
The steering knuckle which is integral with the strut assembly is preadjusted to the specified camber at the factory and requires no adjustment.

Camber [Standard value]: 0° ± 30'

CASTER





Caster, as a rule, requires no adjustment, although it is slightly adjustable by moving the strut bar nut as shown in illustration. If caster has been adjusted, it is necessary to confirm that the wheel bases, right and left, are within the specified limits.

Caster: 2°40' ± 30'

NOTE:
1) The front suspension assembly must be free of worn, loose or damaged parts prior to measuring front wheel alignment.
2) Measure wheel alignment by using the special tool.
3) Camber and caster are pre-set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
4) If camber and caster are not within specifications, replace bent or damaged parts.





STEERING ANGLE





Steering angle, as a rule, requires no adjustment. However, if there is a difference in steering angle between the right and left wheels, change the length of the right and left tie rods.

Steering angle [Standard value]:
Inner wheel 01: 39°40' ± 2°
Outer wheel 02: 32°12'
