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.).
(d) Torque the lock nut.
Torque: 56 NVm (570 kgfVcm, 41 ftVlbf)
5. INSPECT CAMBER
Camber
Right-left error-1°23' ± 45' (-1.38° ± 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or less
HINT:
Camber is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within the specification, inspect the suspension parts
for damaged and/or worn-out parts and replace them if necessary.
