Front suspension - Front wheel alignmentFrontRearIf toe-in is not within specification, please adjust left and
right levers of steering gear.4. Adjustment of toe-in(a) Remove dust cover fixing clip.FrontRearToe-in(Total)Front wheel alignmentAdjustment1. Inspection(a) Check tire is worn and inflation pressure is proper.
Tire inflation pressure under normal temperature:Tire size Front and rear kPa*1 It is used under the condition of speed below 160 km/h.
*2 It is used under the condition of speed above 160 km/h.
(b) Check tire run-out with dial indicator.
Tire run-out: 3.0mm.2. Measurement of vehicle heightVehicle height:
(General road)
(Coarse road)
Measuring point:
A. Height for ground and front wheel center
B. Height for ground and bolt center in front of lower
control arm
C. Height for ground and fixed bolt center of rear axle beam
D. Height for ground and rear wheel center
Note: adjust vehicle height to standard value before checking front wheel alignment.
If vehicle height does not conform to regulations, please shake upward and downward or lift vehicle
body to adjust vehicle height.3. Inspection of toe-inToe-in:Front87
