3. CASTER (FRONT)
IInspection
1) Place front wheel on turning radius gauge.
Make sure ground contacting surfaces of front and
rear wheels are set at the same height.
2) Set ST into the center of the wheel, and then
install the wheel alignment gauge.

NOTE:
Refer to the ªSPECIFICATIONS AND SERVICE
DATAº for the caster value.
4. FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN
IInspection
1) Using a toe gauge, measure front wheel toe-in.
Toe-in:
0
±3mm(±0.12 in)
2) Mark rear sides of left and right tires at height
corresponding to center of spindles and measure
distance ªBº between marks.
3) Move vehicle forward so that marks line up with
front sides at height corresponding to center of
spindles.
4) Measure distance ªAº between left and right
marks. Toe-in can then be obtained by the follow-
ing equation:
B þ A = Toe-in
H4M1279
IAdjustment
1) Loosen the left and right side steering tie-rods
lock nuts.
2) Turn the left and right tie rods equal amounts
until the toe-in is at the specification.
Both the left and right tie-rods are right-hand
threaded. To increase toe-in, turn both tie-rods
clockwise equal amounts (as viewed from the
inside of the vehicle).

3) Tighten tie-rod lock nut.
Tightening torque:
