FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Toe-In
Standard value: 0 ± 3 mm (0 ± 0.12 inch)
1. Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clips and turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite directions).
2. After making the adjustments, use a turning radius gauge to confirm that the steering wheel turning angle is within the standard value range.
Standard value:
Inner wheel: 33° 45'
Outer wheel: 28° 21'
Camber And Caster
Standard value:
Camber: 0° ± 30'
Caster: 3° 55' ± 30'
Install the special tool by tightening it to the same torque as that applied to the drive shaft nut.
To adjust camber, turn the strut lower mounting bolt (upper). One graduation is equivalent to about 20' in camber. Caster has been factory-adjusted to
the standard value and requires no adjustment.
CAUTION:
1. One camber graduation changes toe by about 0.5 mm (0.02 inch). Be sure to adjust toe after camber has been adjusted.
2. The difference in camber between right and left should be within 0° 30'.
WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENT
Wheel bearing adjustment: Bearing preload is pre-set to the specified value by design and therefore can not be adjusted.
