Section 3 Front Wheel AlignmentAdjustment:1. Check tire
2. Measure the vehicle height
Vehicle height:Tire sizeFront1 (mm)Rear2 (mm)
175 / 65R14 82H191 265
185 / 60R15 84H192 265Front Suspension System-Front Wheel Alignment4-43 1.front measure point
Measure the distance between the ground and the front underside
suspension mounting bolt center
2.rear measure point
Measure the distance between the ground and the rear axle beam mounting bolt center
Notice:
Before the wheel alignment,adjust the body to the specified height.If the body height is out of spec,adjustment
shall be done by pressing or raising vehicle body.
3. Check the Toe-in
Toe-in:
If the toe-in is out of spec, adjust the ends of rack.
4. Adjust the Toe-in
(1) Remove the clamp of the rack boot
(2) Loose the jam nut of tie rod
(3) Adjust the Toe-in by rotating the same turns of both ends of
rack.
Tips: Adjust the toe-in to the intermediate value of spec.
(4)Make sure the same length for both ends
The length difference of left and right: 1.5mm or smaller
(5)Tighten the jam nut of the tie rod
Torque: 47N.m
(6)Seat the boot and crimp the clamp
Tips: rack boot must not be twistedFront

Fully steer the wheel and measure the angle
The angle of wheel:
If the kingpin caster angle and the kingpin inclination be out of spec, check the damage and abrasion of
suspension parts after the correct adjustment of camber angle. If there is deviation with spec for right and left wheel angle, check the rack length of left and right ends.
6. Check the camber, caster and steering axle inclination angle
7. Adjust the camber angle
Notice:
Check the toe-in after adjust the camber angle
(1)Remove the front wheel
(2)Remove the two nuts under the shock absorber
If you need to reuse the bolts and nuts, apply the engine oil on
the nut thread
(3)Clear the mounting surface of the knuckle and shock absorber.Front

adjustment.
Notice: Tighten the adjustment nuts with washer and new nuts. (4) Mount 2 nuts temporarily.
(5) Adjust the camber angle by pushing or pulling the underside
of shock absorber in the direction of required adjustment.
(6) Tightening the nuts

(7) Mounting the front wheel
Torque: 103N.m
(8) Check the camber
Tips:

Adjust the camber to the median of spec.
