INSPECTION
1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT (See page SA-4)
NOTICE:
Before inspecting the weel alignment, adjust the vehicle
height to the specitication.
2. INSPECT CAMBER
Camber
Left-right error-0°30' ± 45'
45' (0.75°) or less
HINT:
Camber is not adjustable, if the measurement is not within the
specification, inspect and replace the suspension parts as nec-
essary.
3. INSPECT TOE-IN
Toe-in
(total)A + B: 0.3° ± 0.3°
C - D: 3 ± 3 mm (0.12 ± 0.12 in.)
HINT:
Toe-in is not adjustable, if the measurement is not within the
specification, inspect and replace the suspension parts as nec-
essary.
