Alignment: Service and Repair
Front Caster Inspection
For proper inspection/adjustment of the wheel alignment, check and adjust the following before checking the alignment:
-
Check that the suspension is not modified.
-
Check the tire size and tire pressure.
-
Check the runout of the wheels and tires.
-
Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a wheel with your hands, and move it up and down and right and left to check for wobbling.)
Use commercially-available computerized four wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and/or turning angle).
Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
1. Check the caster angle.
Caster angle: 2°07' ± 1°
2. If out of specification, check for bent or damaged suspension components.
Front Camber Inspection
Use commercially-available computerized four wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and/or turning angle).
Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
1. Check the camber angle.
Camber angle:
Front: 0°00' ± 1°
Rear: 0°30' ± 45'
2. If out of specification, record the camber reading, then adjust the camber.
Front Camber Adjustment
The front camber can be adjusted by exchanging one or both of the damper pinch bolts with a smaller diameter adjusting bolt, P/N 90120-S0X-A00.
The difference between the adjusting bolt diameter and the pinch bolt hole diameter allows for a small range of adjustment.
1. Measure the camber angle.
Camber angle: 0°00' ± 1°
(Maximum difference between the right and left side: 1°00')
2. If the measurement is outside the specification, go to step 3, and adjust the camber angle.
3. Raise the front of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported. Remove the front wheels.
