45' (0.75°) or less
HINT:
Camber in not adjustable, it measurement is not within the
specifications, inspect the suspension parts for damaged and/
or worn±out parts and replace them as necessary.
4. INSPECT TOE±IN
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.).
(d) Torque the lock nuts.
