I-Mark L4-1471cc 1.5L (1987)
Alignment: Service and Repair
DESCRIPTION
The front suspension is of the MacPherson strut, independent type. A strut support anchors the upper end of the strut to the body. The lower end of the
strut is connected to the upper end of the steering knuckle. The lower end of the steering knuckle is attached to the ball joint, which is mounted to the
suspension control arm.
CASTER & CAMBER
Caster and camber angles are preset and cannot be adjusted. If caster and/or camber are out of specifications, the cause must be found. If worn or
damaged suspension components are the cause, they should be replaced. If problem is body related, the body should be repaired as needed.
TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT
Toe-in is adjusted by altering tie rod length. To perform adjustment, loosen small end boot clamps and slide from the boot. Loosen right and left tie
rod end locknuts, then turn both tie rods the same amount to bring toe-in within specifications. Ensure right and left tie rods are equal in length, then
tighten locknuts. When adjustment is complete, ensure boots are not twisted.
