Wheel Alignment Inspection 

DESCRIPTION 

^

Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.

NOTE: Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are designated positions.

PRELIMINARY CHECK 

1. Check tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Check road wheels for runout.
3. Check wheel bearing axial end play.
4. Check transverse link ball joint axial end play.
5. Check strut operation.
6. Check each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Check each link, rod and member for cracks, deformation and other damage.
8. Check vehicle posture.

INSPECTION OF CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES 

^

Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.

^

Before inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge. Mount rear wheels onto a stand that has same height so vehicle will remain
horizontal.

Using a CCK Gauge 
Install CCK gauge attachment (SST: KV991040SO) as following procedure in wheel, then measure wheel alignment.

1. Remove wheel nuts (3), and install a guide bolt to hub bolt.
2. Screw adapter into plate body until it contacts body tightly.
3. Screw center plate into plate.
4. Insert plate on guide bolt. Put spring in, and then evenly screw both guide bolt nut. When fastening guide bolt nut, do not completely compress

spring.

5. Place the dent of alignment gauge onto the projection of center plate and tightly contact them to measure.

Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles: Refer to Specifications See: Specifications.

CAUTION: 
^

If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle is outside the standard, check front suspension parts for wear and damage, and replace suspect
parts if necessary.

^

King pin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required.
