1. INSPECT TIRE (See page 28-1)
2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT (See page 26-5)
NOTICE:
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.
3. INSPECT TOE-IN
Toe-in:
Toe-in
(total)A + B: 0°22' ± 11' (0.4° ± 0.2°)
C - D: 4 ± 2 mm (0.16 ± 0.08 in.)
If the toe-in is not within the specified value, inspect and re-
place the suspension parts if necessary.
4. 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:
1.0 mm (0.039 in.) or less
If the left-right difference is larger than 1.0 mm (0.039 in.), ad-
just it by following the procedures below.
(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 approximately 67' (112', 10.8 mm, 0.425 in.).
