Wheel Alignment
Caster
For proper inspection/adjustment of the wheel align-ment, check and adjust these items before checkinq thealignment:
. Check that the suspension is not modified.. Check the tire size and tire pressure.
. Check th( runout of the wheels and t;res,. Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a wheel withyour hands, and move it up and down and right andleft to check for wobbling.)
Inspection
Use commercially-available computerized four wheelalignment equipment to measure wheel alignment (cast-
er, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the equip-ment manufacturer's instructions.
Check the caster angle.
Caster angle: 2'10':t 1"
lf out of specification, check for bent or damagedsuspension components.

Loosen the tie-rod locknuts, and turn both tie-rods
in the same direction until the front wheels are
pointing straight ahead.
5.Turn both tie-rods equally until the toe reading on
the wheel alignment computer is correct.
After adjusting, tighten the tie-rod locknuts and
reposition the tie-rod boots if they are twisted or
displaced.

Example: After the rear toe inspection, the wheel is 2
mm (0.08 in) out of the specification.- Move the arm so the adjusting bolt moves 2 mm
{0.08 in) inward from the position recorded before the
adjustment.- The distance the adjusting bolt is moved should be
equal to the amount out-of-specification.

T€sting and Repairs
. Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation.
Replace them or repair them by wrapping the break
with electricaltape.
. After installing parts, make sure that no wires are
pinched under them.
. When using electrical test equipment, follow the
manufacturer's instructions and those described in
this manual.
. lf possible, insert the probe of the tester from the
wire side (except waterproof connector).
. Seat grommets in their grooves properly.

)Steering-related Precautions
Stooring Wh€el and Csble Re6l Alignm€nt
To avoid misalignment of the steering wheel on
reassembly, make sure the wheels are turned straight
ahead beJore removing the steering wheel.
To center the cable reel, rotate the cable reel clockwise
until it stops, Then rotate it counterclockwise (approxi-
mately two and a half turns) until the arrow mark on the
cable reel label points straight up.
Steering Column Bemoval
CAUTION: Before removing the stosring column, tirsi
disconneqt tha connsctor between tho cabls roel and
the SRS main harness.
lf the steering column is going to be removed without
dismounting the steering wheel, lock the sieering by
turning the ignition key to o-LOCK position, or remove
the key trom the ignition so that the steering wheel will
not turn.
LABEL
NOTE:
. When the airbag and cable r6el are disconnected, and
the battery is reconnected and the ignition switch is
turned ON (ll), the SRS unit will store this as an open
in the driver's airbag inflator, and the SRS indicator
light will come on, In such a case, make sure to con-
firm the DTC, then clear the SRS unit memory.
. For disconnecting the spring-loaded lock type con-
nector, refer to page 24-22.

Do not replace the original steering wheel with any other
design because it will make it impossible to properly
install the airbag (use only genuine Honda replacement
partsl.
After reassemblv, confirm the wheels are still turned
straight ahead and that the steering wheel spoke angle
is correct. lf minor spoke angle adjustment is necessary,
do so only by adjusting the tie-rods, not by removing
and repositioning the steering whee .
