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

then check parts of lower control arm is damaged or worn.(b) Loosen lock nuts at the end of transversal lever .
(c) Evenly rotate end levers of left and right rack to
adjust toe-in.
Hint: try adjusting toe-in to medium value.
(d) Ensure that the end lever length of left rack equals that
of right rack.
(e) Tighten lock nuts at the end of transversal lever.
Torque: 745 N.m
(f) Install dust cover fixing clip.
Hint: ensure that the dust cover does not distort.5. Inspection of turning angle(a) Completely rotate steering wheel to the bottom and then
measure turning angle.

and right rack.6. Inspection of camber, caster and steering shaft inclination(a) Install camber-caster-kingpin gauge or erect wheel alignment tester.
(b) Check camber, caster and steering-axis inclination.
Camber, caster and steering shaft inclination:
(General road)

Front suspension - Front wheel alignment7. Adjustment of camberNote: after adjusting the camber, please check toe-in.
(a) Remove front wheels.
(b) Remove 2 nuts under absorber.
If it is necessary to repeat using bolts or nuts, please coat
oil to thread of nuts.
(c) Clean nut absorber and attachment face of steering knucle.
(d) Temporarily install 2 nuts.
(e) Push or pull lower end of absorber in the direction that cam-
ber requires adjustment to adjust the camber.
(f) Tighten nut.
Torque: 15310 N.m
(g) Install front wheels.
Torque: 10310 N.m
(h) Check camber.89

Front suspension - Front shock absorber and helical springHandling1. Handle front left absorber assembly.(a) Completely pull out absorber piston rod.
(b) As shown in the diagram, drill a small hole on cylinder body
between two lines with electric drill to make inside gas flow
out
Notes:Iron chip may fly out during drilling, please be care-
ful in operating.The gas is colorless, odorless and nontoxic.93(c) Install 2 nuts to lower end of absorber.
Torque: 15310 N.m
Hint: coat oil on thread of nuts.
(d) Install brake hose and ABS speed sensor wire harness
bracket with bolts.
Torque: 19N.m9. Install front left stabilizer link assembly [64000097].Install stabilizer link with nuts.
Torque: 745 N.m
Hint: if ball joint rotates with nuts, please fix bolts with
hexagonal wrench (6mm).10. Install front wheels.Torque: 10310 N.m11. Check and adjust front wheel alignment
