FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
1. MAKE FOLLOWING CHECKS AND CORRECT ANY
PROBLEMS
(a) Check the tires for wear, size and proper inflation.
Cold tire inflation pressure:
FWD/SV21 and 4WD 2.1 kg±cm2 (30 psi, 206 kPa)
FWD/VZV21 2.2 kg±cm2 (31 psi, 216 kPa)
(b) Check the front wheel bearings for looseness.
(c) Check the wheel runout.
Lateral runout: Less than 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
(d) Check the front suspension for looseness.
(e) Check the steering linkage for looseness.
(f) Check that the front shock absorber function properly
by using the standard bounce test.
If the clearance of the vehicle is not standard, try
to level by locking it down. If still not correct, check
for bad springs or suspension parts.
HINT: Before inspecting wheel alignment, adjust
chassis ground clearance to specification.
3. INSTALL WHEEL ALIGNMENT EQUIPMENT
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment
manufacturer. 2. MEASURE CHASSIS GROUND CLEARANCE
Chassis ground clearance: mm (in.)

If steering angles differ from the standard specifi-
cations, check to see if the lengths of the left and
right tie rods are the same.
HINT: If the tie rod lengths are not equal, the steer-
ing angle cannot be adjusted properly.
If the tie rod lengths were changed to adjust the
wheel angle, reinspect the toe±in.
HINT: Camber is not adjustable, if measurement is not
within specification, inspect and replace the suspen-
sion parts.
6. CHECK STEERING AXIS INCLINATION
Steering axis inclination:
Steering axis inclination is not adjustable,if measure-
ment is not within specification, inspect and replace
the suspension parts.
7. CHECK CASTER
Caster:
If caster is not within specification, adjust by in-
creasing or decreasing the spacers. (See page
FA±61) At 20° (Outside wheel) inside wheel: 22°00' 4. CHECK WHEEL ANGLE
