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)

[REAR]
Standard value :
Toe- in (B- A) mm (in) : 2.6 ± 2 (0.1024 ± 0.0787)
Adjust the toe - in by turning the cambolt of the assist arm.
Left cambolt : Clockwise → toe - in
Right cambolt : Clockwise → toe - out
The variation of toe by a rotation of the cambolt :
About 3.2 mm (0.126 in)
a. Each toe should be within ±1 mm (± 0.039 in).
If the difference between right and left is not within +2mm (0.079 in), repeat adjustment.
b. After adjusting the cambolt, tighten the nut to the specified torque.
Specified torque
90 ~ 120 Nm (9 ~ 12 kgf.m, 65.1 ~ 86.8 lb - ft)
CAMBER
[FRONT]
Camber is the inward or outward tilting of the wheels at the top.

WHEEL NUT TIGHTENING
1.Tightening torque.
Tightening torque Nm (kgf.m, lb - ft) :
90 ~ 110 (9 ~11, 65.1 ~ 79.5)
When using an impact gun, final tightening torque should be checked using a torque wrench.
2. Tightening order.
Check the torque again after tightening the wheel nuts diagonally.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY
1. Start the engine and with the steering wheel in the straight ahead position.
2. Measure the play while turning the steering wheel to the left and right.
Standard value :
Steering wheel free play : 30 mm (1.1 in)
3.If the play exceeds the standard value, inspect the connection between the steering shaft and tie rod ends.
CHECKING STEERING ANGLE
1.Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge and measure the steering angle.
Standard value
VRS on Inner
38.64 °
Outer 31.78 °
VRS off Inner
41.91 °
Outer 33.54 °
2. If the measured value is not within the standard value, adjust the toe and inspect again.
CHECKING THE TIE ROD END BALL JOINT STARTING TORQUE
1.Disconnect tie rod and knuckle with the special tool (09568- 4A000).

2.Shake the ball joint stud several times to check for looseness.
Tie rod end ball joint starting torque :
30 kg·cm or less
3.If the starting torque exceeds the upper limit of the standard value, replace the tie rod end.
4. Even if the starting torque is below the lower limit of the standard value, check the play of the ball joint and replace
if necessary.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL RETURN
1.The force required to turn the steering wheel and the wheel return should be the same for both moderate and sharp
turns.
2. When the steering wheel is turned 90° and held for a couple of seconds while the vehicle is being driven at 20- 30
kph (12- 19 mph), the steering wheel should return at least 20° from its central position when it is released.
If the steering wheel is turned very quickly, steering may be momentarily difficult. This is not a malfunction
because the oil pump output will be somewhat decreased.
