9. Again turn wheel hub several times in both directions.
10. Measure starting force ``A'' at wheel hub bolt.
11. Tighten lock nut until screw hole is aligned with screw hole in
lock washer. Lock washer may be used with either side up.
Temporarily tighten lock washer using screw.
12. Turn wheel hub several times in both directions.
13. Measure starting force ``B'' at wheel hub bolt. Refer to proce-
dure 10.
14. Wheel bearing preload ``C'' can be calculated as shown below.
C=BþA
Wheel bearing preload ``C'':
0 - 18.6 N (0 - 1.9 kg, 0 - 4.2 lb)
15. If wheel bearing preload ``C'' is outside speci®cations, loosen
lock nut and adjust wheel bearing preload ``C'' to 0 to 18.6 N
(0 to 1.9 kg, 0 to 4.2 lb) range.
16. Measure wheel bearing axial end play.
Axial end play:
0mm(0in)
17. Tighten screw.
: 1.2 - 1.8 Nzm (0.12 - 0.18 kg-m, 10.4 - 15.6 in-lb)

TOE-IN
Measure toe-in using the following procedure.
WARNING:
+Always perform the following procedure on a ¯at surface.
+Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before
pushing it.
1. Bounce front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. This mark is a measuring point.
4. Measure distance ``A'' (rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180 degrees
(1/2 turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try
the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance ``B'' (front side).
Total toe-in:
Refer to SDS (FA-27).
7. Adjust toe-in by varying the length of steering tie-rod.
(1) Loosen lock nuts.
(2) Adjust toe-in by screwing tie-rod in and out.
Make sure both tie-rods are the same length.
(3) Tighten lock nuts to speci®ed torque.
Lock nut tightening torque:
Refer to ST section (``POWER STEERING GEAR
AND LINKAGE'').
FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
Turning angle is set by stroke length of steering gear rack and
cannot be adjusted.
1. Set wheels in straight-ahead position. Then move vehicle for-
ward until front wheels rest on turning radius gauge properly.
2. Rotate steering wheel all the way right and left; measure turn-
ing angle.
Do not hold the steering wheel on full lock for more than 15
seconds.
Wheel turning angle (Full turn):
Refer to SDS (FA-27).
3. Adjust by stopper bolt if necessary.
