PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
CautionBES0003W

When installing rubber bushings, final tightening must be performed under unladen conditions with tires
on ground. Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
–Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. A spare tire, a jack, hand tools
and mats are in designated positions.

After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment.

Self-locks nut are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new self-lock nut are pre-
oiled, tighten as they are.

On-Vehicle Inspection BES00040
Make sure that the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each components and component status
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION OF SUSPENSION ARM BALL JOINT END PLAY
Measure axial end play by placing an iron pry bar or a similar item between suspension arm and axle housing
prying up and down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage installation position by applying excessive
force.
SHOCK ABSORBER INSPECTION
Check for oil leakage, damage, and breakage of installation positions.
Wheel Alignment InspectionBES00041
DESCRIPTION
Measure the wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” mean that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. A spare tire, a jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
1. Check tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Check road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-3, "
ROAD WHEEL" .
3. Check wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to RAX-3, "
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION" .
4. Check suspension arm ball joint axial end play. Refer to RSU-11, "
Ball Joint Inspection" .
5. Check shock absorber operation.
6. Check each mounting point of axle housing and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Check each link, arm, and member for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
8. Check vehicle height (posture).
CAMBER INSPECTION

Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable
alignment gauge.

Adjust in accordance with the following procedures.

If camber is not within the specification, adjust by turning the
adjusting bolt of front lower link.
NOTE:
After adjusting camber, be sure to check toe-in.Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
Camber : Refer to RSU-18, "

c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight pieces in line with each other as shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start tyre balance machine again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
tyre balance machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
5. Start tyre balance machine. Make sure that inner and outer
residual unbalance values are 10 g (0.35 oz) each or below.

If either residual unbalance value exceeds 10 g (0.35 oz), repeat installation procedures.
RotationBES0004J

Follow the maintenance schedule for tyre rotation service inter-
vals. Refer to MA-8, "
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE" .

Do not include the spare tyre when rotating tyres.
CAUTION:

When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by divid-
ing the work two to three times in order to prevent the
wheels from developing any distortion.

Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding
the criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
Maximum allowable unbalanceDynamic (At rim flange) Less than 10 g (0.35 oz) (one side)
Static (At rim flange) Less than 20 g (0.71 oz)
