Front Wheel Alignment ConstructionS7RS0B2201002
Among factors for front wheel alignment, only toe setting
can be adjusted. Camber and caster are not adjustable.
Therefore, should camber or caster be out of
specification due to the damage caused by hazardous
road conditions or collision, whether the damage is in
body or in suspension should be determined and
damaged body should be repaired or damaged
suspension should be replaced.
Preliminary Checks Prior to Adjustment Front Wheel
Alignment
Steering and vibration complaints are not always the
result of improper wheel alignment. An additional item to
be checked is the possibility of tire lead due to worn or
improperly manufactured tires. “Lead” is the vehicle
deviation from a straight path on a level road without
hand pressure on the steering wheel. Refer to “Radial
Tire Lead / Pull Description in Section 2D” in order to
determine if the vehicle has a tire lead problem. Before
making any adjustment affecting wheel alignment, the
following checks and inspections should be made to
ensure correctness of alignment readings and alignment
adjustments:
• Check all tires for proper inflation pressures and approximately the same tread wear. • Check for loose of ball join
ts. Check tie-rod ends; if
excessive looseness is noted, it must be corrected
before adjusting.
• Check for run-out of wheels and tires.
• Check vehicle trim heights; if it is out of limit and a
correction is needed, it must be done before adjusting
toe.
• Check for loose of suspension control arms.
• Check for loose or missin g stabilizer bar attachments.
• Consideration must be given to excess loads, such as
tool boxes. If this excess load is normally carried in
vehicle, it should remain in vehicle during alignment
checks.
• Consider condition of equipment being used to check alignment and follow manufa cturer’s instructions.
• Regardless of equipment used to check alignment, vehicle must be placed on a level surface.
NOTE
To prevent possible incorrect reading of toe,
camber or caster, vehicle front and rear end
must be moved up and down a few times
before inspection.

Front Wheel Alignment Inspection and
Adjustment
S7RS0B2206001
Toe Inspection and Adjustment
Preparation for toe inspection and adjustment.
• Place vehicle in unloaded state on level surface.
• Set steering wheel in straight state.
• Check that inflation pressure of each tire is adjusted properly and wheel is free from deflection.
• Check that each suspension part is free from bend, dent, wear or damage in any other form.
• Check that ground clearance at the right and left is just about the same.
Inspection
Measure toe using toe-in gauge (1).
If toe is out of specified value, adjust it at the tie-rod. Front toe (total) “b”-“a”
: 0 + 1.0 / – 0.5 mm (0 + 0.0394 / – 0.0197 in.)

If deterioration of rubber is evident, disassemble all
hydraulic parts and wash with alcohol. Dry these parts
with compressed air before assembly to keep alcohol out
of the system. Replace all rubber parts in the system,
including hoses. Also, when working on the brake
mechanisms, check for fluid on the linings.
If excessive fluid is found, replace the pads. If master cylinder piston seals
are satisfactory, check for
leakage or excessive heat co nditions. If leakage is not
found, drain fluid, flush with brake fluid, refill and bleed
system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to
the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contained parts that have been subjected to
contaminated fluid.

WARNING!
• Never attempt to disassemble or repair the seat belt pretensioner (retractor
assembly). If any abnormality is found, be
sure to replace it with new one as an
assembly.
• Be sure to read “Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of Seat Belt” before starting
to work and observe every precaution
during work. Ne glecting them may result in
personal injury or una ctivation of the seat
belt pretensioner when necessary.

Removal
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disable air bag system. Refer to “Disabling Air Bag System in Section 8B”.
3) Remove center pillar lower trim.
4) Disconnect Yellow connector (1) from seat belt pretensioner (2).
a) Release locking of lock button (3).
b) After unlocked, disconnect to connector.
5) Remove front seat belts from the vehicle.
Installation
Install in reverse order of removal, noting the following.
• Seat belt anchor bolts should have an unified fine thread (7/16-20 UNF). Under no circumstances
should any different sized or metric screw threads be
used.
• Connect Yellow connector (1) to seat belt pretensioner securely.
a. Connect connector.
b. Lock connector with lock slider (2). • Enable air bag system. Refer to “Enabling Air Bag
System in Section 8B”.
Front Seat Belt InspectionS7RS0B8106003
WARNING!
• Never attempt to disassemble or repair the seat belt pretensioner (retractor
assembly). If any abnormality is found, be
sure to replace it with new one as an
assembly.
• Be sure to read “Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of Seat Belt”, before
starting to work and observe every
precaution during work. Neglecting them
may result in personal injury or
unactivation of the seat belt pretensioner
when necessary.
• Never measure resistance of pretensioner or disassemble it. Otherwise, personal
injury may result.

CAUTION!
If seat belt pretensioner (retractor assembly)
was dropped from a height of 30 cm (1 ft) or
more, it should be replaced.

Seat belts and attaching parts can affect the vital
components and systems of a vehicle.
Therefore, they should be inspected carefully and
replaced with genuine parts only.
