Measure from the ground to the center of the lower suspension
arm No.2 mounting bolt.
NOTICE:
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle
height to the specification.
If the vehicle height is not within the specification, try adjust it
by pushing down on or lifting the body.

4. INSPECT TOE-IN
Toe-in
(Total)A + B: 0° ± 12' (0° ± 0.2°)
C - D: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.08 in.)
If toe-in is not within specification, adjust by the tie rod end.
5. ADJUST CAMBER AND CASTER
(a) Remove the engine under cover.
(b) Remove the nut, 2 bolts and lower arm bracket stay.
(c) Loosen the front and/or rear adjusting cam nuts.
(d) Adjust the camber and caster by front and/or rear adjust-
ing cams (See adjustment chart).
HINT:
Try to adjust the camber and caster to the center value.
(e) Torque the front and/or rear adjusting cam nuts.
Torque: 226 N´m (2,300 kgf´cm, 166 ft´lbf)
(f) Install the lower arm bracket stay.
Torque:
Bolt: 44 N´m (450 kgf´cm, 32 ft´lbf)
Nut: 59 N´m (600 kgf´cm, 43 ft´lbf)
(g) Install the engine under cover.



6. ADJUST TOE-IN
(a) Remove the boot clamps.
(b) Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.

(c) Turn the left and right rack ends an equal amount to adjust
the toe-in.
HINT:

Make sure that the lengths of the left and right rack ends
are the same.

Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
Rack end length difference:
1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less
(d) Tighten the tie rod end lock nut.
Torque: 56 N´m (570 kgf´cm, 41 ft´lbf)
(e) Place the boot on the seat and clip it.
HINT:
Make sure that the boots are not twisted.
7. INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE
Turn the steering wheel fully and measure the turning angle.

(30.58°)
If the wheel angle are not within the specifications, check to see
if the lengths of the left and right rack ends are the same.
HINT:
If the tie rods lengths are not equal, the wheel angle cannot be
adjusted properly. Reinspect the toe-in after adjusting the tie
rods lengths.

8. HOW TO READ ADJUSTMENT CHART
(a) Mark on the graph the measurements taken from the ve-
hicle.
Example (2JZ-GE):
Camber: +0°10' (+0.16°)
Caster: +4°20' (+4.33°)
(b) Read from the graph the amounts of the front and/or rear
cams to be adjusted.
Amount to turn adjusting cam (by graduation):
Front cam: + (Longer) 1.8
Rear cam: - (Shorter) 2.2

(Total)A + B: 0°18' ± 12' (0.3° ± 0.2°)
C - D: 3 ± 2 mm (0.12 ± 0.08 in.)
5. ADJUST CAMBER AND TOE-IN
(a) Measure the length of the lower suspension arm No.1 and
No.2, as shown in the illustration.
Length:
(E - F) or (F - E) should be less than 4.0 mm (0.16 in.).
If not, adjust the length of the arms by turning the adjusting cam
as shown, until (E - F) or (F - E) is less than 4.0 mm (0.16 in.).
(b) Measure the camber and toe-in.
If the camber and toe-in are still not within the specification, ad-
just the camber and toe-in with the adjusting cam.
(c) Remove the bolt and disconnect the parking brake cable
bracket.
