TOE-OUT ANGLE ON TURNS
To check the steering linkage, especially after the vehicle
has been involved in an accident or if an accident is presumed,
it is advisable to check the toe-out angle on turns in addition
to the wheel alignment.
Conduct this test on the left turn as well as on the right turn.

BALL JOINT DUST COVER CHECK
1. Check the dust cover for cracks or damage by pushing
it with finger.
2. If the dust cover is cracked or damaged, replace the
lower arm assembly.
NOTE
Cracks or damage of the dust cover may cause damage
of the ball joint.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Caution
1. Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, refer to GROUP 52B - Service
Precautions and Air Bag Module and Clock Spring. Also, put the front wheels in straight-ahead
position. Failure to do so may damage the SRS clock spring and render the SRS air bag
inoperative, which results serious driver injury.
2. If the vehicle is equipped with the Brembo disc brake, during maintenance, take care not to
contact the parts or tools to the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched. And
if there is brake fluid on the caliper, wipe out quickly.
3. To prevent bushings from breakage, the parts indicated by * should be temporarily tightened,
and then fully tightened with the vehicle on the ground in the unladen condition.

ABS <4WD> -General Information35B-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
ABS has been adopted as optional equipment in
RS-IIto maintain directional stability and steering
performance during sudden braking or braking on
slippery road surfaces.
The ABS control method is a 4-sensor, 4-channel
method which provides independent control for all
wheels.
Following system for Lancer EVOLUTION-VII has
been modified from Lancer EVOLUTION-VI Tommi
Makinen Edition.DBy adding lateral G sensor, longitudinal G
sensor and steering wheel sensor, optimized
ABS control at the time of cornering.
DBy inputting parking brake switch signal to
ABS-ECU with pulling parking brake lever, ABS
control has been optimized.
DABS-ECU outputs ABS signal to 4WD-ECU.
DG sensor (lateral), steering wheel sensor and
parking brake switch have been added to the
diagnosis and service data.
DABS-ECU connector has been changed.
EBD CONTROL
In ABS, electronic control method is used by which
the rear wheel brake hydraulic pressure during
braking is regulated by rear wheel control solenoid
valves in accordance with the vehicle’s rate of
deceleration and the front and rear wheel slippage
which are calculated from the each wheel speed
sensor’s signal. EBD control is a control system
which provides a high level of control for both vehicle
braking force and vehicle stability. The system has
the following features:
DBecause the system provides the optimum rear
wheel braking force regardless of the vehicleladen condition and the condition of the road
surface, the system reduces the required pedal
depression force, particularly when the vehicle
is heavily laden or driving on road surfaces
with high frictional coefficients.
DBecause the duty placed on the front brakes
has been reduced, the increases in pad
temperature can be controlled to improve the
wear resistance characteristics of the pad,
during front brakes applying.
DControl valves such as the proportioning valve
are no longer required.
