Cracks, damage, and foreign matter (such as metal pieces, nails, and stones) in the tire and cracks, deformation, and damage to the wheel. 2. Loose wheel lug nut(s). 3. Air leaking from valve stem. Incorrect camber or caster Malfunctioning suspension Unbalanced wheel Out-of-round brake drum or disc Other mechanical conditions Lack of rotation REMOVAL / INSTALLATION When reinstalling a wheel, retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque after about 1,000 km (620 miles} driv- ing. Repair or replace suspension parts Repair or replace Balance or replace Correct or replace Correct or replace Rotate tires Caution Applying oil to the lug nuts, bolts, or wheels will cause the lug nuts to become loosened. Tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque in a criss- cross fashion. Verify that the wheel-to-hub contact surfaces are clean.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHEEL ALIGNMENT FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT Specifications (Unladed*l) PRE-INSPECTION 1. Check the tire inflations, and adjust to the recommended d pressure if necessary. 2. lnspect the front wheel bearing play and correct if neces- sary. 3. lnspect the wheel and tire runouts. 4. Inspect the ball joints and steering linkage for excessive looseness. 5. The vehicle must be on level ground and carry no lug- gage or passengers. 6. Measure the height from the center of the wheel to the fender brim. The difference between left and right mea- surement must not exceed 10mm (0.39 in), and the rear measurement must be larger then the front measure- ment by 10-30mm (0.4--1.1 in). Caution The proper caster and camber angle vary depend- ing on the vehicle height. Refer to the following and to page R-9 for the specifications. Inspection and adjustment of wheel alignment must be done with the vehicle unladed*'. . .

Compress and extend the shock piston at least three (3) times. Verify that the operational force does not change and that there is no unusual noise. 4. (1) Compress the shock absorber piston and release it. (2) Verify that the piston extends fully at a normal speed. Assembly note Coil spring and bound stopper 1. Set the shock absorber in a vise. 2. Install the bound stopper on the shock absorber as shown. 3. lnstall the compressed coil spring (compressed with SST). 4. Install the mounting plate. 5. Tighten the mounting plate nut, but do not torque it yet. 6. Remove the SST. 7. Secure the mounting plate in a vise. 8. Tighten the piston rod upper nut. Tightening torque: 30-36 N.m (3.0-3.7 kgf.m, 22-26 ftdbf) Disposal of shock absorber Caution The gas in the shock absorber is color less, order less, and non-toxic. Wear safety glasses as drilling chips may be expelled by the pressurized gas. 1. Lay the shock absorber flat. 2. Drill a hole in the shock absorber body. Drill size: 2-3mm (0.08-0.11 in). 3. Allow the gas to escape from the shock absorber. 4. Discard the shock absorber. Gartner Banana
