INSPECTION
NOTICE:
When using a vise, do not overtighten it.
1. MEASURE OIL CLEARANCE BETWEEN VANE PUMP
SHAFT AND BUSHING
Using a micrometer and caliper gauge, measure the oil clear-
ance.
Standard clearance:
0.03 - 0.05 mm (0.0012 - 0.0020 in.)
Maximum clearance: 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
If it is more than the maximum, replace the front housing and
vane pump shaft.
2. INSPECT VANE PUMP ROTOR AND VANE PLATES
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the height, thickness and
length of the vane plates.
Minimum height: 8.6 mm (0.339 in.)
Minimum thickness: 1.397 mm (0.0550 in.)
Minimum length: 14.991 mm (0.5902 in.)
(b) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the vane pump rotor groove and vane plate.
Maximum clearance: 0.035 mm (0.0014 in.)

INSPECTION
NOTICE:
w/ VSC:
Be sure to perform the steering angle sensor zero point cal-
ibration after adjusting the front wheel alignment (See page
DI-252).
1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
Vehicle height:
Front*1 mm (in.)Rear*2 mm (in.)
213 (8.39)266 (10.47)
*1: Front measuring point
Measure the distance from the ground to the center of the front
side lower suspension arm mounting bolt.
*
2: Rear measuring point
Measure the distance from the ground to the center of the front
side strut rod mounting bolt.
NOTICE:
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle
height to the specified value.
If the vehicle height is not the specified value, try to adjust it by
pushing down on or lifting the body.
2. INSTALL CAMBER-CASTER-KINGPIN GAUGE OR
POSITION VEHICLE ON WHEEL ALIGNMENT TES-
TER
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
3. INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS
INCLINATION
Camber, caster and steering axis inclination:
Camber
Right-left error-0°37' ± 45' (-0.62° ± 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or less
Caster
Right-left error2°10' ± 45' (2.17° ± 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or less
Steering axis inclination
Right-left error13°04' ± 45' (13.07° ± 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or less
If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the spe-
cified values, after the camber has been correctly adjusted, re-
check the suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts.

INSPECTION
1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT (See page SA-4)
2. INSTALL CAMBER-CASTER-KINGPIN GAUGE OR
POSITION VEHICLE ON WHEEL ALIGNMENT TES-
TER
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
3. INSPECT CAMBER
Camber:
Camber
Right-left error-0°43' ± 45' (-0.72° ± 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or less
If the measured value is not within the specified value, inspect
the suspension parts for damage and/or wear and replace them
if necessary because camber is not adjustable.
4. INSPECT TOE-IN
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 specified value, adjust it at the
No. 2 lower suspension arm.
5. ADJUST TOE-IN
(a) Measure the lengths of the right and left No. 2 lower sus-
pension arms.
No. 2 lower suspension arm length difference:
1 mm (0.04 in.) or less
If the right-left difference is greater than the specified value, ad-
just the length.
(b) Loosen the lock nuts.
(c) Turn the right and left adjusting tube by 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
by about 36' (0.6°, 6.7 mm, 0.264 in.).
(d) Torque the lock nuts.
Torque: 56 N´m (570 kgf´cm, 41 ft´lbf)
