FRONT ALIGNMENT 3A-3
Inspection
Before making any adjustments affecting caster, camber or
toe-in, the following front end inspection should be made.
1. Inspect the tires for proper inflation pressure. Refer to
Main Data and Specifications in W heel and Tire System section.
2. Make sure that the vehicle is in an unladen condition (W ith no passengers or loading).
3. Make sure that the spare tire is installed at the normal position.
4. Inspect the front wheel bearings for proper adjustment. Refer to Front Hub and Disc Overhaul in Suspension
section.
5. Inspect the ball joints and tie rod ends. If excessive looseness is noted, correct before adjusting. Refer to
Steering Linkage in this section.
6. Inspect the wheel and tires for run-out. Refer to W heel Replacement in W heel and Tire System section.
7. Inspect the trim height. If not within specifications, the correction must be made before adjusting caster.
8. Inspect the steering unit for looseness at the frame.
9. Inspect shock absorbers for leaks or any noticeable noise. Refer to Shock Absorber in Suspension section.
10. Inspect the control arms or stabilizer bar attachment fo
r
looseness. Refer to Suspension section.
11. Inspect the front end alignment using alignment equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
12. Park the vehicle on a level surface.

3A-8 FRONT ALIGNMENT
Toe-in Adjustment
Measurement should be taken with the vehicle on a surface
plate.
If a surface plate is not available, toe-in should be checked
with the vehicle parked on a level floor.
1. Set front wheels to straight ahead position.
2. Align the toe-in gauge with center height of each wheel at front end.
3.
Apply center marks to each wheel, then take measurement
of distance A between the center marks on each wheel.
4. Slowly move the vehicle rearward until the center marks reach the rear end position.
5. Take measurement of distance B between the cente
r
marks at rear end.
The toe-in can be calculated with the following formula.
Toe-in = B - A
Toe-in mm (in)
4×2
(Except high ride suspension) 0

To adjust the toe-in angle, loosen the lock nuts (2) on the tie
rod (1) and turn the tie rod. Turn both rods the same amount,
to keep the steering wheel centered.
