Alignment: Service and Repair

DESCRIPTION

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

TOE










Standard value
Toe-in (B-A) mm (in) : 0±2 mm (0±0.079 in)


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

Tie rod end lock nuts(A) tightening torque :
50 - 60 Nm (5 - 6 Kgf-m, 36.9 - 44.3 lb-ft)






CAMBER









When the wheel tilts out at the top, then the camber is positive (+).
When the wheel tilts in at the top, then the camber is negative (-).
The steering knuckle which is installed with the strut assembly is pre-set to the specified camber at the factory and doesn't need to be adjusted.
If the camber in not within specification, inspect for damaged components and replace as needed.

Camber : 0°±30'


CASTER

Caster : 3°36' ± 30'






NOTE:
- The worn loose or damaged parts of the front suspension assembly must be replaced prior to measuring front wheel alignment.
- Camber and caster are pre-set to the specified value at the factory and don't need to be adjusted.
- If the camber and caster are not within specifications, replace bent or damaged parts.
- The difference of left and right wheels about the camber and the caster must be within the range of 0° ± 30'.

DESCRIPTION

TOE-IN

Standard value
4.6 =3/-1 mm


Left tie rod : Clockwise direction -> toe-in
Right tie rod : Clockwise direction -> toe-out
The variation of toe by a rotation of the tie rod : About 15.2 mm (1°16')


CAUTION:
- Each toe should be within 2.8 mm (0.11 ± 0.039 in).
If the difference between right and left is not within +2mm (0.079 in), repeat adjustment.
- After adjusting the tie rod(C), tighten both nuts(B) to the specified torque.

Specified torque
50 - 60 Nm (5 - 6 kgf-m, 37 - 43 lb-ft)






CAMBER










Standard value : -0°55' ± 30'
Difference between right and left angle is within 0° 30'


NOTE:
Camber is pre-set at the factory and doesn't need to be adjusted. If the camber is not within the standard value, replace the bent or damaged parts.
