Alignment (Front): Service and Repair – Mitsubishi Galant V6-3.0L SOHC (2003)

Alignment: Service and Repair
Front

FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

Required Special Tool:
^

MB991004: Wheel Alignment Gauge Attachment. 

Measure wheel alignment with alignment equipment on a level surface. The front suspension, steering system, and wheels should be serviced to
normal condition before measuring wheel alignment.

TOE-IN
Standard value: 0 ± 3 mm (0 ± 0.12 inch)

NOTE:  If the toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust the toe-in by undoing the clips and turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the
same amount (in opposite directions).

NOTE:  The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear of the
vehicle. For each one turn of the left and right tie rods, the toe-in will be adjusted by approximately 1°05' (per wheel). After making the toe-in
adjustment, check the steering angle.

STEERING ANGLE 

Use a turning radius gauge to check that the steering angle is at the standard value.

CAMBER AND CASTER
Standard value:
Camber 0°00' ± 30' (Left/right deviation within 30')
Caster 3°00' ± 30°(Left/right deviation within 30')

NOTE:  Caster is preset at the factory and cannot be adjusted.

CAUTION:   Never subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle load when the driveshaft nuts are loosened.

NOTE:  For vehicles with aluminum type wheels, attach a camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the driveshaft by using special tool MB991004. Tighten
special tool MB991004 to the same torque 196 - 255 Nm (145 - 198 ft. lbs.) as the driveshaft nut.
