(c) How to read adjustment chart (using examples).
(1) Measure the present alignment.
Camber: -0°15' (-0.25°)
Caster: 2°40' (2.67°)
(2) Mark the difference between the standard value (A)
and the measured value (B) on the adjustment
chart.
Standard value:
Camber: 0°05' (0.08°)
Caster: 2°30' (2.5°)
Formula: A - B = C
Camber: 0°05' - (-0°15') = 0°20'
Caster: 2°30' - 2°40' = -0°10'
(3) As shown in the chart, read the distances from the
marked point to 0 point, and adjust the front and/or
rear adjusting cams accordingly.
Front cam: - (Shorter) 1.6
Rear cam: - (Shorter) 3.2

(d) Torque the front and/or rear adjusting cam nuts.
Torque: 98 N´m (1,000 kgf´cm, 72 ft´lbf)
5. INSPECT TOE-IN
Toe-in:
Toe-in
(total)A + B: 0°06' ± 12' (0.1° ± 0.2°)
C - D: 1 ± 2 mm (0.04 ± 0.08 in.)
If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the rack
ends.
6. ADJUST TOE-IN
(a) Check or adjust the lengths of the rack ends, then adjust
the toe-in.
Rack end length difference: 3.0 mm (0.118 in.) or less
(b) Remove the boot clamps.
(c) Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
(d) Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to
adjust the toe-in.
HINT:
Try to adjust the toe-in to the center of the specified value.
(e) Tighten the tie rod end lock nuts.
Torque: 55 N´m (560 kgf´cm, 41 ft´lbf)
(f) Place the boots on the seats and install the clamps.
HINT:
Make sure that the boots are not twisted.
(g) Perform the zero point calibration of yaw rate and decel-
eration sensor (See page DI-505).

7. INSPECT AND ADJUST WHEEL ANGLE
(a) Turn the steering wheel fully, and measure the turning
angle.
Wheel turning angle:
Inside wheel36°42' (33°42' - 36°42')
36.7° (33.7° - 36.7°)
Outside wheel: Reference32°36'
32.6°
If the right and left inside wheel angles differ from the specified
value, check the right and left rack end lengths.
(b) When toe-in is normal after inspection, adjust wheel
angle with the knuckle stopper bolt of the lower suspen-
sion arm.
Torque: 44 N´m (450 kgf´cm, 32 ft´lbf)

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
Use the table below to help you find the cause of the problem. The numbers indicate the priority of the likely
cause of the problem. Check each part in order. If necessary, replace these parts.
(w/ Differential locking system):

Check that the transfer shift lever is shifted to the L position.

When switching differential Free e Lock, the indicator light will blink if the gears of the differen-
tial lock sleeve are not meshed. If this occurs, when the tires are rotated to apply differential
power to the differential, the differential locks and the indicator light lights up.
