BODY
INSPECTION
1. TIGHTEN BOLTS AND NUTS ON CHASSIS AND BODY
(a) Tighten the front seat−to−body mounting bolts. Torque: 39 N·m (400 kgf·cm, 29 ft·lbf)
(b) Under Severe Conditions: In addition to the above maintenance items, check for
loose or missing nuts and bolts on the steering system,
drive train, suspension system, fuel tank mounts, engine
mounts, etc.
2. FINAL INSPECTION
(a) Check the operation of the body parts:
Hood:
Auxiliary catch operates properly
Hood locks securely when closed
Front and rear doors:
Door locks operate properly
Doors close properly
Back door:
Door lock operates properly
Seats:
Seat adjusts easily and locks securely in any posi-
tion
Front seat back locks securely in any position
Folding −down rear seat backs look securely
(b) Road test
Check the engine and chassis for abnormal noises.
Check that the vehicle does not wander or pull to
one side.
Check that the brakes work properly and do not
drag.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM STEERING WHEEL PAD AND SPIRAL CABLE
RS−15
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
(1) Install the 2 bolts with washers in the 2 bolt holes in
the steering wheel pad.
Bolt:
L: 35. mm (1.387 in.)
M: 6.0 mm (0.236 in.)
Pitch: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
NOTICE:
Tighten the bolts by hand until the bolts become diffi-
cult to turn.
Do not tighten the bolts too much.
(2) Using 3 wire harnesses, wind the wire harness at least 2 times each around the bolts installed on the
left and right sides of the steering wheel pad.
CAUTION:
Tightly wind the wire harness around the bolts so that
there is no slack.
If there is slack in the wire harness, the steering wheel
pad may come loose due to the shock when the air-
bag is deployed. This is highly dangerous.
(3) Face the upper surface of the steering wheel pad
upward. Separately tie the left and right sides of the
steering wheel pad to the disc wheel through the
hub nut holes. Position the steering wheel pad con-
nector so that it hangs downward through a hub
hole in the disc wheel.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dan-
gerous when looseness in the wire harness results in
the steering wheel pad coming free through the shock
from the airbag deploying.
Always tie down the steering wheel pad with the pad
side facing upward. It is very dangerous if the steer-
ing wheel pad is tied down with the metal surface fac-
ing upward as the wire harness will be cut by the
shock from the airbag deploying and the steering
wheel pad will be thrown into the air.
NOTICE:
The disc wheel will be marked by airbag deployment, so
when disposing of the airbag use a redundant disc wheel.

FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
INSPECTION
1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
Clearance:
A (Follow spring clearance): 36 mm (1.42 in.)
B (Bumper stopper clearance): 104 mm (4.09 in.)
If the clearance of the vehicle is not standard, try to level the ve-
hicle by rocking it down.
If still not correct, check for bad springs or suspension parts.
2. INSTALL CAMBER−CASTER−KINGPIN GAUGE OR ONTO WHEEL ALIGNMENT TESTER
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
3. INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS INCLINATION
Camber
Left−right error1°00’ ± 45
45’ or less
Caster Left−right error3°00’ ± 1°
45’ or less
Steering axis inclination13 °00’ ± 45’
Camber, caster and steering axis inclination are not adjustable.
If measurements are not within the specification, inspect the
suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts and re-
place them as necessary.
4. INSPECT TOE −IN
To e−in
(total)A+B: 0.2 ° ± 0.2°
C −D: 2 ± 2 mm (0.08 ± 0.08 in.)
If toe− in is not within the specification, adjust by the tie rod end.
5. ADJUST TOE−IN
(a) Loosen the clamp bolts and nuts.
(b) Adjust toe−in to the correct value by turning the tie rod.
HINT:
Make sure that the lengths of the left and right tie rod ends are
the same.
(c) Torque the clamp bolts and nuts. Torque: 37 N·m (375 kgf·cm, 27 ft·lbf)

HINT:
The clamps opening must be positioned at the rear of the tie rod
end face within 60 °±10° from the vehicle axis.
6. INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE
(a) Remove the caps of the knuckle stopper bolts and check the steering angles.
(b) Turn the steering wheel fully, and measure the turning angle.
Inside wheel32°00’ − 35°00’
Outside wheel31 °00’ (Reference)
HINT:
When the steering wheel is fully turned, make sure that the
wheel is not touching the body or brake flexible hose.
If maximum steering angles differ from the standard value, ad-
just the wheel angle with the knuckle stopper bolts.
Torque: 44 N·m (450 kgf·cm, 33 ft·lbf)
If the wheel angle still cannot be adjusted within limits, inspect
and replace damaged or worn steering parts.
