FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
INSPECTION
1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
Tire sizeFrontRear
155SR13187.9 mm (7.40 in.)253.2 mm (9.97 in.)
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
Left-right error-0°20' ± 45'
45' (0.75°) or less
Caster
Left-right error1°20' ± 45
45' (0.75°) or less
Steering axis inclination
Left-right error12°10' ± 45'
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
end.

Reference: Outside wheel32°10'
If the wheel angles differ from the standard specifications, in-
spect the toe-in.
