4. Install original tires one at a time to find the offend-
ing tire.
RADIAL TIRE LEAD/PULL
Lead/pull is the deviation of the vehicle from a straight pathon a level road with no pressure on the steering wheel.
Lead is usually caused by:
S Incorrect alignment.
S Uneven brake adjustment.
S Tire construction.
The way in which a tire is built can produce lead/pull in the
vehicle. Off–center belts on radial tires can cause the tire
to develop a side force while the vehicle rolls straight down
the road. If one side of the tire has even a little larger diam-
eter than the diameter of the other side, the tire will tend
to roll to one side. Unequal diameters will cause the tire to
develop a side force which can produce vehicle lead/pull.
The radial lead/pull diagnosis chart should be used to de-
termine whether the problem originates from an alignment
problem or from the tires. Part of the lead diagnosis proce-
dure calls for tire rotation that is different from the proper
tire rotation pattern. If a medium– to high–mileage tire is
moved to the other side of the vehicle, be sure to check for
ride roughness. Rear tires will not cause lead/pull.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
ChecksAction
Check the tires for proper inflation pressures and normal
tread wear.Inflate the tires to the proper tire pressure. Replace the
tires as needed.
Check the wheel bearings for looseness.Tighten the axle nut to the proper specification. Replace
the strut wheel bearing as needed.
Check for loose ball joints and tie rod ends.Tighten the ball joints and the tie rods.
Check the runout of the wheels and the tires.Measure and correct the tire runout.
Check the vehicle trim heights.Correct the trim heights. Make the correction before ad-
justing the toe.
Check for loose rack and pinion mounting.Tighten the mounting brackets for the rack and pinion as-
sembly.
Check for improperly operating struts.Replace the strut assembly.
Check for loose control arms.Tighten the control arm attachment bolts. Replace the con-
trol arm bushings as needed.
FRONT TOE ADJUSTMENT
1. Disconnect the outer tie rods from the knuckle as-
semblies. Refer to Section 6C, Power Steering
Gear.
2. Turn the right and the left outer tie rods and the ad-
juster nuts to align the toe to 0.0 ± 0.10 degree.
3. Reconnect the outer tie rods to the knuckle assem-
blies. Refer to Section 6C, Power Steering Gear.
Notice : In this adjustment, the right and the left tie rods
must be equal in length, or the tires will wear unevenly.FRONT CAMBER AND CASTER
CHECK
The front camber and caster are not adjustable. Refer to
”Wheel Alignment Specifications” in this section. Jounce
the bumper three times before measuring the camber or
the caster in order to prevent an incorrect reading. If the
front camber or caster measurements deviate from the
specifications, locate and replace or repair any damaged,
loose, bent, dented, or worn suspension part. If the prob-
lem is body related, repair the body.
REAR CAMBER CHECK
The rear camber is not adjustable. Refer to ”Wheel Align-
ment Specifications” in this section. If the rear camber
deviates from the specification, locate the cause and cor-
rect it. If damaged, loose, bent, dented, or worn suspen-
sion parts are found, they should be repaired or replaced.
If the problem is body related, repair the body.
