Alignment: Service and Repair
PREPARATION FOR INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Place vehicle in non-loaded state on level floor.
2. Set steering wheel in straight state.
3. Check that inflation pressure of each tire is adjusted properly and disc wheel is free from deflection.
4. Check that each suspension part is free from bend, dent, wear or damage in any other form.
5. Check that ground clearance at the right and left is just about the same.
FRONT ALIGNMENT
Camber And Caster
Camber: 0° ± 1°
Caster: 2.7° ± 2° (24.7 mm, 0.97 inch)
Should camber or caster be found out of specifications upon inspection, locate its cause first. If it is in damaged, loose, bent, dented or worn
suspension parts, they should be replaced. If it is in vehicle body, repair it so as to attain specifications.
NOTE: To prevent possible incorrect reading of camber or caster, vehicle front end must be moved up and down a few times before inspection.
Steering Angle:
Inside: 39° ± 3°
Outside: 34° ± 3°
Reference Information:
Side slip: For inspecting front wheel side slip with side slip tester:
Side slip limit: Less than 3 mm/m (Less than 0.118 inch/3.3 ft.)
If side slip exceeds above limit, toe-in or front wheel alignment may not be correct.
When tie rod or tie rod end was replaced, check toe and then also steering angle with turning radius gauge. If steering angle is not correct, check if
right and left tie rods are equal in length ("A").
NOTE: If tie rod lengths were changed to adjust steering angle, reinspect toe-in.
Toe Setting
Toe-In: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.079 inch)
