REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Caution
1. Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, always refer to GROUP
52B - Service Precautions, Air bag Module and Clock Spring. Also, set the front wheels so
that they are facing straight forward, and remove the ignition key. If you fail to do this, the
SRS clock spring will be damaged, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative and serious
injury.
2. *
1: Indicates parts which should be initially tightened, and then fully tightened after placing
the vehicle horizontally and loading the full weight of the engine on the vehicle body.
3. *
2: Indicates parts which should be temporarily tightened, and then fully tightened with the
vehicle on the ground in the unladen condition.
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped 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.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT
Measure the wheel alignment with the vehicle parked on a
level surface.
The front suspension, steering system, and wheels should be
serviced to normal condition prior to measurement of wheel
alignment.
TOE-IN
Standard value:
At the centre of tyre tread 0±2mm
Toe angle (per wheel) 0_00’±05’
1. Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clip and lock nut, and
turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same
amount (in opposite directions).
NOTE
The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is turned
toward the front of the vehicle and the right turnbuckle
is turned toward the rear of the vehicle.
2. Install the clip and tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.

FRONT SUSPENSION -On-vehicle Service33A-5
Tightening torque: 52±2 N·m
3. Confirm that the toe-in is at the standard value.
4. Use a turning radius gauge to check that the steering
angle is at the standard value.
Standard value:
Inner wheels31_45’±1_30’
Outer wheels (for reference)27_15’
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.
