Alignment: Service and Repair

Wheel Alignment 

The suspension can be adjusted for front camber, front toe, and rear toe. However, each of these adjustments are related to each other. For example,
when you adjust camber, the toe will change. Therefore, you must adjust the front wheel alignment whenever you adjust camber or toe.

Pre-Alignment Checks 
For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel alignment, do these checks:
1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement.
2. Make sure the suspension is not modified.
3. Check the tire size and tire pressure.

Tire size: P235/70R16 104S
Tire pressure: 220 kPa (2.2 kgf/cm2, 32 psi), cold

4. Check the runout of the wheels and tires.

5. 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.)
6. Bounce the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension.

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

Check the caster angle.

Caster angle:
2WD: 1°59' ± 1° 
4WD: 1°53' ± 1° 
^

If the measurement is within specifications, measure the camber angle.

^

If the measurement is not within specifications, check for bent or damaged suspension components.

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

Check the camber angle.

Camber angle:
Front:
2WD: -0°40' ± 1° 
4WD: -0°30' ± 1° 
Rear:
2WD: -0°40' ± 45' 
4WD: -0°30' ± 45' 
^

If the measurement for the front camber is outside the specification, go to front camber adjustment.

^

If the measurement for the rear camber is outside the specification, check for bent or damaged suspension components.

Front Camber Adjustment 
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations. Remove the front wheels.
