Front Wheel Alignment
FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
When using a wheel alignment tester to inspect the front wheel alignment, always position the car on a level surface with the front wheels facing
straight ahead. Prior to inspection, make sure that the front suspension and steering system are in normal operating condition and that the wheels and
tires face straight ahead and tires are inflated to the specification pressure.
TOE-IN
Toe-in (B - A or angle a + b) is adjusted by turning the tie rod turnbuckles. Toe in on the left front wheel can be reduced by turning the tie rod toward
the rear of the car. Toe change is achieved by turning the tie rod for the right and left wheels by the same amount simultaneously as follows:
Toe-in (B - A) mm (inch) [Standard value]: 0 ± 3 mm (0 ± 0.12 inch)
NOTE:
-
Toe-in adjustment should be made by turning the right and left tie rods by the same amount.
-
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.
Tie rod end lock nuts tightening torque: 50 - 55 Nm (500 - 550 kg-cm, 36 - 40 ft. lbs.)

The steering knuckle which is integral with the strut assembly is pre-adjusted to the specified camber at the factory and requires no adjustment.
Camber [Standard value]: 0° ± 30'
CASTER
Caster is pre-set at the factory and can not be adjusted. If caster is not within standard value, replace the bent or damaged parts.
