Alignment: Service and Repair

DESCRIPTION

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

TOE










Standard value
Toe-in
Total : -0.2°~0.2°
Individual : -0.1°~0.1°

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°±0.5°

CASTER

Caster : 3.6°±0.5°





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°±0.5°.

DESCRIPTION

TOE-IN

Standard value
Toe-in
Total : 0.18°~0.20°
Individual : -0.9°~0.1°

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.0.26°

CAUTION:
- Each toe should be within 0.2°.
If the difference between right and left is not within ±0.2°, 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










Camber : -0.91°±0.5°
Difference between right and left angle is within ±0.5°

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.
