Stabilizer bushing installation
Align the bushing with the stabilizer installation posi-
tion line, and attach it so that the seam faces the front

loosely tighten them. After mounting the con-
trol links, tighten the brackets to the specified
torque with the vehicle on the ground and un-
loaded.

69G10X-031
Pre-inspection
1. Check the tire inflation and bring to the recom-
mended pressure.
2. Inspect the front wheel bearing play and correct,
it if necessary.
3. Inspect the wheel and tire runout.
4. Inspect the ball joints and steering linkage for any
excessive looseness.
5. The vehicle must be on level ground and have no
luggage or passenger load.
6. The difference in height between the left and right
sides from the center of the wheel to the fender
brim must be within 10 mm (0.39 in).
Caution
a) Front and rear wheel alignment should be
checked simultaneously. If adjustment is
made to either the front or rear wheels,
recheck the alignment, particularly toe-in,
on all other wheels.
b) Check and adjust the steering angle trans-
fer shaft after adjusting the front wheel
alignment. (Refer to Section 10)
TOE-IN
Inspection
1. Raise the front of the vehicle until the wheels clear
the ground.
2. Turn the wheels by hand, mark a line in the center
of each tire tread using a scribing block.
3. Place the front wheels in the straight-ahead posi-
tion and lower the vehicle.
4. Measure the distance between the lines at the front
and rear of the wheels.
Both measurements must be taken at equal
distances from the ground.
Toe-in (distance greater at rear than front):
3 ± 3 mm (0.12 ± 0.12 in)
Adjustment
To adjust the toe-in, loosen the left and right tie-rod
lock nuts, then turn the tie-rods by the same amount.
Caution
a) The left and right tie-rods are both right
threaded, so, to increase the toe-in, turn the
right tie-rod toward the front of the vehicle,
and turn the left tie-rod by the same amount
toward the rear.
b) One turn of the tie-rod (both sides) changes
the toe-in by about 7.2 mm (0.28 in).
c) Tighten the tie-rod locknuts to the specified
torque.

CAMBER AND CASTER
Inspection
The camber and caster is measured by placing the
front wheels on a turning-radius gauge in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Proceed in the following order:
1. Jack up the vehicle and remove the wheel caps
and nuts. Then attach the SST to the wheel hub
as shown in the figure.
2. Attach the caster/camber gauge to the adapter
and measure the camber and caster.
Camber angle: 0°17' ± 45'
Caster angle: 1°13' ± 45'
Left/right difference:
Camber: 30' max.
Caster: 40' max.
Adjustment
1. Jack up the front of the vehicle and support it with
safety stands.
2. Remove the mounting block nuts.
3. Push the mounting block downward, and turn it
to the desired position.
4. Retighten the nuts to the specified torque.
