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
