6. Lower the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the front of the vehicle up and down several times to settle the suspension.
7. Measure the camber angle.

^

If the measurement is within specification, measure the toe-in.

^

If the measurement is not within specification, go to step 8.

8. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.

10. Replace the damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts (A), and adjust the camber angle.

11. Tighten the adjusting bolts to the specified torque value.
12. Clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the front wheels.
13. Lower the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the front of the vehicle up and down several times to settle the suspension.
14. Measure the camber angle. If the camber angle is not within specification, repeat steps 8 through 13 to readjust the camber angle. If the camber

measurement is correct, measure toe-in, and adjust it if necessary.

Front Toe Inspection/Adjustment

Use commercially available computerized four wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle).
Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

1. Set the steering column to the center tilt and center telescopic position, then center the steering wheel spokes, and install a steering wheel holder

tool.

2. Check the toe with the wheels pointed straight ahead.

Front toe-in: 0±2 mm (0±0.08 in.)

^

If adjustment is required, go to step 3.

^

If no adjustment is required, go to rear toe inspection/adjustment.

3. Loosen the tie-rod locknuts (A) while holding the flat surface sections (B) of the tie-rod end with a wrench, and turn both tie-rods (C) until the
