*1: For driving under 160 km/h (100 mph)
*
2: For driving at 160 km/h (100 mph) or over
(b) Check the tire runout.
Tire runout: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) or less
2. ROTATING TIRES
HINT:
See the illustration for where to rotate each tire.
3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE
(a) Check and adjust the Off±the±car balance.
(b) If necessary, check and adjust the On±the±car balance.
Imbalance after adjustment:
8.0 g (0.018 lb) or less

4. CHECK WHEEL BEARING LOOSENESS
(a) Check the backlash in the bearing shaft direction.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
(b) Check the axle hub deviation.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
5. CHECK FRONT SUSPENSION FOR LOOSENESS
6. CHECK STEERING LINKAGE FOR LOOSENESS
7. CHECK BALL JOINT FOR LOOSENESS
8. CHECK SHOCK ABSORBER WORKS PROPERLY

Check for oil leaks

Check mounting bushings for wear

Check front and rear of the vehicle for bounce

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

HINT:
If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the spec-
ification, after the camber has correctly adjusted, recheck the
suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts.
4. INSPECT TOE±IN
Toe±in
(Total)A + B: 0° ± 12' (0° ± 0.2°)
C ± D: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.08 in.)
If the toe±in is not within the specification, adjust it at the rack
ends.

Toe±in
(Total)A + B: 0°24' ± 12' (0.4° ± 0.2°)
C ± D: 4 ± 2 mm (0.16 ± 0.08 in.)
If the toe±in is not within the specification, adjust it at the No.2
lower suspension arm.
5. ADJUST TOE±IN
(a) Measure the length of the left and right No.2 lower sus-
pension arms.
No.2 lower suspension arm length difference:
1 mm (0.04 in.) or less
If the left±right difference is larger than the specification, adjust
the length.

(b) Loosen the lock nuts.
(c) Turn the left and right lower suspension arms an equal
amount to adjust toe±in.
HINT:

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

One turn of the each adjusting tube will adjust the toe±in
about 36' (0.6°, 6.7 mm, 0.264 in.).
