ENGINE ASSEMBLY
Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS
CATALOG.
CAUTION:
Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
Never start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cool enough.
If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.
Always use the support point specified for lifting.
Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for unavoid-
able reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool before
starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.

INSPECTION
Description
CAUTION:
Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle exceeds the standard value, 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.
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
Preliminary Check
Check the following:
Tires for improper air pressure and wear
Road wheels for runout: Refer to WT-2, "
Inspection".
Wheel bearing axial end play: Refer to FA X - 6 , "
Inspection".
Transverse link ball joint axial end play: Refer to FSU-11, "
Inspection".
Strut operation.
Each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation
Each of suspension member and transverse link for cracks, deformation and other damage
Vehicle height (posture)
CAMBER, CASTER, AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES
Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
Before inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge. Mount rear wheels onto a stand at the
same height so that vehicle remains 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 to 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 exceeds the
standard value, check front suspension parts for wear and
damage. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is
detected.
