2007 KIA CARNIVAL wheel alignment

Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft) :
13 ~ 18 (1.3 ~ 1.8, 9.4 ~ 13.0)
After installation, if neccessary, adjust the alignment of the steering wheel and front tires
INSPECTION
1.Check the bushing for wear and deterioration.
2. Check the stabilizer bar for bending or breakage.
3. Check the ball joint for rotating torque.
(1) If there is a crack in the dust cover, replace it and add grease.
(2) Move the stabilizer link ball joint stud several times in a circular motion.
(3) Mount the self - locking nut on the ball joint, and then measure the ball joint rotating torque.
Standard value :
0.5 ~ 2.5 Nm (5 ~ 25 kgf., 0.36 ~ 1.81 lb - ft)
Measure torque using the special tool(09532- 11600) and torque wrench at the range of 0.5 - 2 rpm after
moving the ball joint stud 10 times at room temperature.
(4)If the rotating torque exceeds the upper limit of standard value, replace the upper arm assembly.
(5) Even if the rotating torque is below the lower limit of the standard value, the ball joint may be reused unless it
has drag and excessive play.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
When using commercially available computerized four wheel alignment equipment (caster, camber, toe) to inspect the
front wheel alignment, always position the car on a level surface with the front wheels facing straight ahead.
Prior to inspection, make sure that the front suspension and steering system are in normal operating condition and
that the wheels and tires face straight ahead and the tires are inflated to the specified pressure.
TOE
Toe is a measurement of how much the front of the wheels are turned in or out from the straight- ahead position.
Item Description
A - B < 0 Positive (+) toe (toe in)
A - B > 0 Negative ( - ) toe (toe out)
When the wheels are turned in toward the front of the vehicle, toe is positive (+) (toe in). When the wheels are turned
out toward the front of the vehicle, toe is negative(- ) (toe out). Toe is measured in degrees, from side to side, and
totaled.
[FRONT]
Toe- in(B - A or angle a+b) is adjusted by turning the tie rod turnbuckles. Toe- in on the left front wheel can be reduced
by turning the tie rod toward the rear of the car. Toe- in change is adjusted by turning the tie rods for the right and left
heels simultaneously at the same amount as follows.
Standard value :
Toe- in (B- A) mm (in) : 0 ± 2 (0 ± 0.0787)
a. Toe- in adjustment should be made by turning the right and left tie rods at the same amount.
b. When adjusting toe - in, loosen the outer bellows clip to prevent twisting the bellows.
c. After the adjustment, tighten the tie rod end lock nuts firmly and reinstall the bellows clip.
d. Adjust each toe - in to be the range of ±1mm.
Tie rod(A) Specified torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft) :
70 ~ 80 (7 ~ 8, 50.6 ~ 57.8)

the bent or damaged parts.
Caster : 3°46´ ± 30´ (to ground), 4°40´ (to body)
a.The worn loose or damaged parts of the front suspension assembly must be replaced prior to measuring front
wheel alignment.
b. Caster are pre- set to the specified value at the factory and don't need to be adjusted.
c. If the caster are not within specifications, replace bent or damaged parts.
d. The difference of left and right wheels about the the caster must be within the range of 0° ± 30´.
WHEEL RUNOUT
1.Jack up the vehicle and support it with jack stands.
2. Measure the wheel runout with a dial indicator as illustrated.
3. Replace the wheel if the wheel runout exceeds the limit.
Limit RadialAxial
Runout mm(in) Steel
0.7(0.028) 1.1(0.043)
Aluminium 0.3(0.012)0.3(0.012)

14.Remove the power steering gear box (A) from the sub- frame by loosening the mounting bolts.
Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft):
60 ~ 80 (6.0 ~ 8.0, 43~58)
INSTALLATION
Be sure to connect between a tube and a hose as shown in the illustration.
1.Installation is the reverse of removal.
2. After installation, bleed the power steering system. (Refer to the air bleeding in ST group)
3. Adjust the wheel alignment. (Refer to SS group)
DISASSEMBLY
1.Remove the tie rod end (B) from the tie rod (A).

4.Check airbag inflator case for dents, cracks or deformities.
5.Install the airbag module to the steering wheel to check for fit or alignment with the wheel.
Clockspring
1.If, as a result of the following checks, even one abnormal point is discovered, replace the clock spring with a new
one.
2. Check connectors and protective tube for damage, and terminals for deformities.

c.A steering angle sensor used in ESP adjusts 0° setting of steering wheel through K- line or CAN
communication.
2. STEERING ANGLE SENSOR (SAS) CALIBRATION METHOD
(1) Align the wheel to the straight line. (steering wheel < ± 5° )
ex) Perform the wheel alignment first.
Align the wheel to the straight line.
A driver moves the vehicle to the front and back about 5 meters twice or three times.
(2) Connect Scan tool to the vehicle.
(3) Select Brake system.
(4) Select Steering angle sensor(SAS) calibration.
(5)Perform the Steering angle sensor(SAS) calibration.
(6)Perform the procedure continuously.
