Camber, Caster and Kingpin InclinationNLSU0045S01Camber, caster and kingpin inclination are preset at factory
and cannot be adjusted.
1. Measure camber, caster and kingpin inclination of both right
and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge.
Camber, caster and kingpin inclination:
Refer to SDS, SU-15.
2. If camber, caster or kingpin inclination is not within
specification, inspect front suspension parts. Replace dam-
aged or worn out parts.

Toe-inNLSU0045S02Measure toe-in using the following procedure.
WARNING:
+Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
+Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before
pushing it.
1. Bounce front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of tread (rear side) of both tires at the
same height as hub center. These are measuring points.

4. Measure distance“A”(rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180
degrees (1/2 turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try
the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance“B”(front side).
Total toe-in:
Refer to SDS, SU-15.

Preliminary InspectionNLSU0030S01Aluminum wheelNLSU0030S01011. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If
deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from aluminum wheel and mount on a tire balance
machine.
b. Set dial indicator as shown in the illustration.
Wheel runout (Dial indicator value):
Refer to SDS, SU-16.
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 properly.
7. Check vehicle posture (Unladen).

Steel wheelNLSU0030S01021. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage.
If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from steel wheel and mount wheel on a tire bal-
ance machine.
b. Set two dial indicators as shown in the illustration.
c. Set each dial indicator to 0.
d. Rotate wheel and check dial indicators at several points
around the circumference of the wheel.
e. Calculate runout at each point as shown below.
Radial runout = (A + B)/2
Lateral runout = (C + D)/2
f. Select maximum positive runout value and the maximum
negative value.
Add the two values to determine total runout.
In case a positive or negative value is not available, use the
maximum value (negative or positive) for total runout.
If the total runout value exceeds the limit, replace steel wheel.
Wheel runout:
Refer to SDS, SU-16.
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 properly.
7. Check vehicle posture (Unladen).

Toe-inNLSU0030S03Toe-in is preset at factory and cannot be adjusted.
Measure toe-in using following procedure. If out of
specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear
suspension parts.
WARNING:
+Perform following procedure always on a flat surface.
+Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before
pushing it.
1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. This mark is a measuring point.
4. Measure distance“A”(rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180
degrees (1/2 turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try
the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push
