Wheel Alignment
Caster
NOTE: For proper inspection/adjustment of the wheel
alignment check and adjust the following before check-
ing the alignment.
. Check that the susoension is not modified.
. Check the tire size and tire pressure.
. Check the runout of the wheels and tires.
. Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a wheel with
your hands and move it up and down and right and
left to check tor wobbling.)
Inspection
NOTE: Use commercially-available computerized four
wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel align-
ment {caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow
the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
1. Check the caster angle.
Casler angle: 1'10't 1"
2. lf out of specification. check for bent or damaged
suspension compohents.

Inspection
NOTE: Use commercially available computerized four
wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel align-
ment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow
the eouioment manufacturer's instructions.
1. Check the camber angle.

Loosen the ti€-rod locknuts and turn both tie-rods in
the same direction until the front wheels are in
straight ahead position.
Turn both tie-rods equally until the toe reading on
the turning radius gauge is correct.
After sdjusting, tighten the tie-rod locknuts.
NOT€: Reposition the tie-rod boot if it is twisted or
displaced.

NOTE:
. Measure difference in toe measurements with
the wheels pointed straight ahead.

Before adjustment, note the locations of adjusting
bolts on the right and left compensator arms.
Loosen the adjusting bolts and slide the compen-
sator arm in or out as shown, to adjust the toe.
Tighten the adjusting bolts.

COMPENSATOR ARM
. Example;
A{ter the rear toe inspection, the wheel is 2 mm(0.08 inl out of the soecification.- Move the arm so the adjusting bolt moves 2 mm(0.08 inl inward from the position recorded betore theadjustment.- The distance the adjusting bolt is moved should be
equal to the amount out-of-specification.

ment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow
the equioment manufacturer's instructions.
1. Turn the wheel right and left while applying the
brake, and measure the turning angle of both
wneels.
Turning angle:
