Alignment: Service and Repair

NOTES:  

-

Measure wheel alignment with alignment equipment on a level surface.

-

The front suspension, steering system, and wheels should be serviced to normal condition prior to measurement of wheel alignment.

TOE-IN 

1. If the toe-in is not within 0 +/-3 mm (0 +/-0.12 inch), adjust the toe-in by undoing the clips and turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the

same amount (in opposite directions).

2. The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear of the

vehicle.

1. Camber and caster are preset at the factory and cannot be adjusted.

tool to the same torque 196 - 255 Nm (142 - 184 ft.lbs.) as the drive shaft nut.

CAUTION:  Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel bearings while loosening the drive shaft nuts.
