Starlet L4-1290cc 4KE (1983)
Alignment: Service and Repair
Prior to checking and resetting front wheel alignment, check tire pressure to ensure it is correct, check wheel bearings for looseness and correct as
necessary and check wheel runout with a dial indicator. Wheel runout should not exceed .047 inch (1.2 mm).
CASTER & CAMBER
Camber is not adjustable on these models. If camber angle is not within limits, check for worn or damaged suspension parts and replace as necessary. To
adjust caster, increase or decrease as necessary the number of stabilizer bar spacers. Each spacer will change caster angle 2/5°. Do not install more than
two spacers when performing adjustment.
TOE IN, ADJUST
Measure length of tie rod on each side and adjust to be equal. Adjust toe-in by turning adjusting tubes equal amounts. Clamp adjusting tubes after
aligning clamps with tube slots. Lock tie rod ends so that inner and outer ends are at right angles to each other.
