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.)
