Aiming Adjustment
Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure of the follow-
ing.
a. Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.
b. Place vehicle on level ground.
c. Check that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of
coolant, engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools).
Have the driver or equivalent weight placed in driver’s seat.
1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of the
fog lamp lens as shown at left.
2. Turn front fog lamps ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps so that the top edge of the high inten-

lCheck suspension ball joint end play.
a. Jack up front of vehicle and set the stands.
b. Clamp dial indicator onto transverse link and place indicator
tip on lower edge of brake caliper.
c. Make sure front wheels are straight and brake pedal is
depressed.
d. Place a pry bar between transverse link and inner rim of road
wheel.
e. While raising and releasing pry bar, observe maximum dial
indicator value.
Vertical end play:
0mm(0in)
f. If ball joint vertical end play exists, remove transverse link
and recheck the ball joint. Refer to ªFRONT SUSPENSIONº,
FA-32.
Front Wheel Bearing
lCheck that wheel bearings operate smoothly.
lCheck axial end play.
Axial end play:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or less
lIf axial end play is not within specification or wheel bearing
does not turn smoothly, replace wheel bearing assembly.
Refer to ªWheel Hub and Knuckleº, ªFRONT AXLEº, FA-FA-
11 .
Front Wheel Alignment
Before checking front wheel alignment, be sure to make a pre-
liminary inspection (Unladen*).
*: Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack, hand
tools and mats in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove tire and check wheel runout.
Wheel runout:
Refer to SDS, FA-35.
3. Check front wheel bearings for looseness.
4. Check front suspension for looseness.
5. Check steering linkage for looseness.
6. Check that front shock absorbers work correctly by using the
standard bounce test.
7. Check vehicle posture (Unladen).
