3. Check frontwheel bearings forlooseness.
4. Check frontsuspension forlooseness.
5. Check steering linkageforlooseness.
6. Check thatstruts workproperly.
7. Check vehicle posture (Unladen).

TOE-IN Measure toe-inusingfollowing procedure.
WARNING:

degrees (1/2turn).

If the wheels haverotated morethan180degrees
(112
turn), try
the above procedure againfromthebeginning. Neverpush
vehicle backward.

6. Measure distance"B"(front side).

cannot beadjusted.

1. Measure camber,casterandkingpin inclination ofboth right
and leftwheels withasuitable alignment gauge.
