Alignment: Service and Repair
Front Suspension

FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION:
After the installation, perform a calibration for the ASC-ECU to learn the steering wheel sensor neutral point. [Vehicles with ASC]

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

TOE-IN

Standard value: 1 ± 2 mm (0.04 ± 0.08 inch)

1. Adjust the toe-in by undoing the bellows clip and lock nut, 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.

2. Install the bellows clip and tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 52 ± 2 Nm (38 ± 1 ft-lb)

3. Confirm that the toe-in is at the standard value.
4. Use a turning radius gauge to check that the steering angle is at the standard value.
