INSPECTION
1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

195/70R14212 (8.35)264 (10.39)
205/65R15215 (8.46)266 (10.49)
*1: Front measuring point
Measure from the ground to the center of the front side lower
suspension arm mounting bolt.
*
2: Rear measuring point
Measure from the ground to the center of the strut rod mounting
bolt.
NOTICE:
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle
height to the specification.
If the vehicle height is not within the specification, try to adjust
it by pushing down on or lifting the body.
2. INSTALL CAMBER±CASTER±KINGPIN GAUGE

ification, after the camber has correctly adjusted, recheck the
suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts.
4. INSPECT TOE±IN

6. ADJUST TOE±IN
(a) Remove the boot clamps.
(b) Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
(c) Turn the left and right rack ends an equal amount to adjust
the toe±in.
HINT:

Try to adjust the toe±in to the center value.

Make sure that the length of the left and right rack ends
is the same.
Rack end length difference:
1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less
(d) Torque the tie rod end lock nuts.
Torque: 74 N´m (750 kgf´cm, 54 ft´lbf)
(e) Place the boot on the seat and install the clip it.
HINT:
Make sure that the boots are not twisted.
7. INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE
Turn the steering wheel fully, and measure the turning angle.
