Front measuring point:
Measure from the ground to the center of the lower suspension
arm front mounting bolt.
Rear measuring point:
Measure from the ground to the center of the axle beam mount-
ing bolt.
NOTICE:
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle
height to the specification.
If the vehicle height is not the specification, try to adjust it by
pushing down on or lifting the body.
2. INSTALL CAMBER-CASTER-KINGPIN GAUGE OR
ONTO WHEEL ALIGNMENT TESTER
Follow the specific instruction of the equipment manufacturer.
3. INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS
INCLINATION
Camber

45' (0.75°) or less
HINT:
If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the spec-
ification, after the camber has been correctly adjusted, recheck
the suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts.
4. INSPECT TOE-IN
Toe-in
(total)A + B: 0.1° ± 0.2°
C - D: 1 ± 2 mm (0.04 ± 0.08 in.)
If the toe-in is not within the specification, adjust by the tie rod

(b) Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
(c) Turn the left and right rack ends an equal amount to adjust
the toe-in.
Toe-in
(total)A + B: 0.1° ± 0.2°
C - D: 1 ± 2 mm (0.04 ± 0.08 in.)
HINT:

Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.

Make sure that the lengths of the left and right rack ends
are the same.
Tie rod end length difference: 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or
less
(d) Torque the tie rod end lock nuts.
Torque: 47 N´m (480 kgf´cm, 35 ft´lbf)
