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

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 camber angle.
Camber angle:
Front: 0'00' j 1"
Rear:-1"11"
2. lf out ol specification, check for bent or damaged
suspensron components.

Front Toe Inspection/Adiustment
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 tire pressure.
Center steering wheel spokes.
Check the toe with the wheels pointed straight
a head.
Front toe: lN 1 1 2 mm llN l/16 r 1/16 inl
- lf adjustment is required, go on to step 4.
- lf no adjustment is required, remove alignment

Loosen the tie-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 readang on
the turning radius gauge is correct.
After adjusting, tighten the tie-rod locknuts.
NOTE: Reposition the tie-rod boot if it is twisted or
displaced.

Rear Toe Inspection/Adiustment
NOTE: Use commercially-available computerjzed Iour

ment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow
the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
1. Release parking brake.
NOTE:

- lf no adjustment is required, remove alignment
equipment.
Before adjustment, note the locations of adiusting
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

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