DIAGNOSIS
GENERAL DIAGNOSIS
Problems in the steering, the suspension, the tires, and
the wheels involve several systems. Consider all systems
when diagnosing a complaint. Some problems, such as
abnormal or excessive tire wear and scuffed tires, may be
the result of hard driving. Always road test the vehicle first.If possible, do this road test with the customer.
Proceed with the following preliminary checks. Correct
any substandard conditions.

Check the steering gear preload adjustment.Perform a rack bearing preload adjustment.
TORQUE STEER
A degree of torque steer to the right may be experienced
during the use of heavy throttle on some front–wheel drive
cars with drive axles of unequal length. This torque steer
to the right results from the right drive axle being longer
than the left drive axle, which creates a difference in the
drive axle angle. Cars with intermediate shaft assemblies
have axles of almost equal length.
A difference in the drive axle lengths results in more torque
toe–in in the left front wheel. You will notice the torque toe–
in when the vehicle accelerates from a standing start or at
lower speeds.
Inspection Procedure
1. Place a small piece of tape at the top center of the
steering wheel.2. Note the inches of steering wheel deflection re-
quired to keep the vehicle straight during heavy ac-
celeration.
3. Compare this finding with similar cars.
Factors that may cause torque steer to be more apparent
on a particular vehicle include:
S Variations in the tire and wheel assemblies. This
has the most significant effect on torque steer. A
slightly smaller diameter on the right front tire will
increase a right torque lead.
S Large differences in the right and the left front tire
pressure.
S Looseness in the control arm bushings, the tie rod
assemblies, or the steering gear mounting. This
looseness permits a front wheel to pull forward and
toe–in under a torque greater than the wheel on the
opposite side. A loose suspension component may
result in an opposite lead upon deceleration.

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.

brake hose. Refer to Section 4D, Front Disc
Brakes.
5. Remove the outer tie rod from the knuckle assem-
bly. Refer to Section 6C, Power Steering Gear.
6. On vehicles equipped with the antilock braking sys-
tem (ABS), disconnect the ABS speed sensor elec-
trical connection from the knuckle.
7. Remove the ball joint pinch bolt and the nut.
8. Separate the knuckle from the ball joint using the
ball joint remover KM–507–B.
9. Remove the nuts from the bolts that connect the
knuckle assembly to the strut assembly.
