• This may result in an ERROR.
2. Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). Do NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.
• Use the “Jacking Compensation” method. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
• See Instructions in the alignment machine you are using for more information.
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES INSPECTION
• Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
• Before inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge. Mount rear wheels onto a stand that has
same height so vehicle will remain horizontal.
Using a CCK Gauge
Install the CCK gauge attachment [SST: KV991040S0] with the following procedure on wheel, then measure
wheel alignment.
1. Remove three wheel nuts, and install the guide bolts to hub bolt.
2. Screw the adapter into the plate until it contacts the plate tightly.
3. Screw the center plate into the plate.
4. Insert the plate assembly on the guide bolt. Put the spring in,
and then evenly screw the three guide bolt nuts. When fastening
the guide nuts, do not completely compress the spring.
5. Place the dent of alignment gauge onto the projection of the
center plate and tightly contact them to measure.
CAUTION:
• If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle is outside
the specification, check front suspension parts for wear
and damage. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is
detected.
• Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection
is required.
TOE-IN INSPECTION
Measure toe-in using the following procedure.
WARNING:
• Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
• Make sure that no person is in front of vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).Tool number : KV991040S0 ( — )
