b. Adjust toe-in by screwing tie-rods in and out.
Standard length ªLº:
Refer to ST section (ªGeneral Specificationsº,
ªSDSº).
c. Tighten lock nuts to specified torque.
: 38 - 47 N´m (3.9 - 4.7 kg-m, 28 - 34 ft-lb)
FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
1. Set wheels in straight-ahead position. Then move vehicle
forward until front wheels rest on turning radius gauge prop-
erly.
2. Rotate steering wheel all the way right and left; measure
turning angle.
lOn power steering models, turn steering wheel to full lock
and apply force (at circumference of steering wheel) of 98 to
147 N (10 to 15 kg, 22 to 33 lb) with engine at idle.
Do not hold the steering wheel at full lock for more than
15 seconds.
Wheel turning angle (Full turn):
Refer to SDS, FA-35.

Transverse Link and Lower Ball Joint
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
lRemove tension rod, ball joint and transverse link assembly.
lDuring installation, final tightening must be done at curb
weight with tires on ground.
lAfter installation, check wheel alignment.
Refer to ªFront Wheel Alignmentº, ªON-VEHICLE SER-
VICEº, FA-6.
INSPECTION
Transverse link
lCheck transverse link for damage, cracks or deformation.
Replace it if necessary.
lCheck rubber bushing for damage, cracks and deformation.
Replace transverse link if necessary.
Lower ball joint
lCheck ball joint for excessive play. Replace transverse link
assembly if any of the following exists:
lBall stud is worn.
lJoint is hard to swing.
lPlay in axial direction is excessive.
Before checking, turn ball joint at least 10 revolutions so that
ball joint is properly broken in.
Swinging force ªAº:
(measuring point: cotter pin hole of ball stud)
7.8 - 57.9 N (0.8 - 5.9 kg, 1.8 - 13.0 lb)
Turning torque ªBº:
0.5 - 3.4 (5 - 35 kg-cm, 4.3 - 30.4 in-lb)
Vertical end play ªCº:

lCheck dust cover for damage. Replace it and cover clamp if
necessary.
Stabilizer Bar
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Ð For models with xenon headlamps only
lWhen removing or installing stabilizer bar, take care not
to damage headlamp leveling sensor.
lAfter installation of the stabilizer bar, the headlamp sen-
sor has to be recalibrated. Refer to EL-section.
lRemove stabilizer bar.

Balancing Wheels
Wheel balance (maximum allowable unbalance):
10 g (0.35 oz) at rim flange.
Tire balance weight:
5 - 60 g (0.18 - 2.12 oz)
Tire Rotation

Do not include the T-type or space saver spare tire when
rotating the tires.
Wheel nuts:
:98-118N·m (10 - 12 kg-m, 72 - 87 ft-lb)
Checking Steering Gear and Linkage
STEERING GEAR

Check gear housing and boots for security, damage or
grease leakage.

Check connection with steering column for security.
: Refer to ST section.
STEERING LINKAGE

Check ball joint, dust cover and other component parts for
security, wear, damage or grease leakage.
Checking Power Steering Fluid and Lines
Check fluid level in reservoir with engine off.
Use“HOT”range at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to
196°F). Use“COLD”range at fluid temperatures of 0 to 30°C (32
to 86°F).
CAUTION:

Do not overfill.

Recommended fluid is Automatic Transmission Fluid
“DEXRONTMIII”type.
CHECKING LINES

Check lines for leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections,
chafing and deterioration.

Check rack boots for accumulation of power steering fluid.

Precautions
lWhen installing each rubber part, final tightening must
be carried out under unladen condition* with tires on
ground.
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire,
jack, hand tools and mats in designated positions.
lUse flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake
tubes.
lAfter installing removed suspension parts, check wheel
alignment.
lDo not jack up at the trailing arm and lateral link.
lAlways torque brake lines when installing.

PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION
RA-2

Rear Axle and Rear Suspension Parts
Check axle and suspension parts for excessive play, wear or
damage.
lShake each rear wheel to check for excessive play.
lRetighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Refer to REAR SUSPENSION (RA-9).
lCheck shock absorber for oil leakage or other damage.
Rear Wheel Bearing
lCheck axial end play.
Axial end play:
0.00 mm (0.0000 in)
lCheck that wheel hub bearings operate smoothly.
lCheck tightening torque of wheel bearing lock nut.
: 187 - 255 N´m (19 - 26 kg-m, 138 - 188 ft-lb)
lReplace wheel bearing assembly if there is axial end play
or wheel bearing does not turn smoothly.
Refer to REAR AXLE Ð Wheel Hub (RA-7).
