3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.
4. Measure distance (A) from rear side.
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn).
CAUTION:
If wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try
the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance (B) from front side.
7. Use the formula below to calculate total toe-in. • If the total toe-in is outside the specification, adj ust toe-in by varying the length of between steering
outer socket and inner socket. SFA234AC

Removal and Installation
INFOID:0000000004305866
REMOVAL 1. Separate intermediate shaft from steering gear pinion shaft. Refer to PS-9, " Removal and Installation " .
2. Remove front tires from vehicle using a power tool.
3. Remove wheel sensor from steering knuckle. Refer to BRC-32 .
CAUTION:
Do not pull on wheel sensor harness.
4. Remove the nut on the upper side of stabilizer connecting rod (1) with a power tool, and then remove stabilizer connecting rod
(1) from strut assembly.
5. Loosen steering outer socket (1) nut.
6. Remove steering outer socket (1) from steering knuckle (2) so as not to damage ball joint boot (3) using Tool.
CAUTION:
Temporarily tighten the nut to prevent damage to threads
and to prevent the Tool fr om suddenly coming off.
7. Remove rear torque rod. Refer to EM-195, " Component " .
8. Remove transverse link ball joint nut and bolt. Then, remove transverse link from steering knuckle.
9. Set jack under front suspension member.
10. Remove upper side bolts of upper link.
11. Remove the bolts of member stay, and then remove member stay from vehicle.
12. Gradually lower a jack to remove front suspension assembly.
INSTALLATION Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For tightening torque, refer to FSU-10, " Component " .
• Perform final tightening of each of parts (rubber bushing), under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing front suspension assembly. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, " Wheel Alignment
Inspection " .
• Check wheel sensor harness for proper connection. Refer to BRC-32 .

TRANSVERSE LINK
Removal and Installation INFOID:0000000004305869
REMOVAL 1. Remove front tires using power tool.
2. Remove transverse link ball joint nut and bolt. Then, remove transverse link from steering knuckle.
3. Remove transverse link nuts and bolts, then remove transverse link from front suspension member.
NOTE:
When removing LH transverse link it may be necessay to lower
the suspension member in order to remove bolts to avoid con-
tact with the transaxle.
a. Set jack under front suspension member.
b. Loosen RH upper link bolts, LH upper link bolt (front suspension member side), front suspension member bolts (left/right). Lower
the front suspension member in order to remove transverse link
bolts.
4. Remove transverse link.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection Check the following:
• Transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks or damage. Replace it if necessary.
• Ball joint boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leakage. Replace it if necessary.
Ball Joint Inspection Manually move ball stud to confirm it moves smoothly with no binding.
Swing Torque Inspection NOTE:
Before measurement, move ball stud at least t en times by hand to check for smooth movement.
• Hook a spring balance at the cutout on ball stud. Confirm spring balance measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.
• If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assem- bly.
Axial End Play Inspection • Move tip of ball stud in axial direction to check for looseness.
• If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assembly.
INSTALLATION Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For tightening torque, refer to FSU-10, " Component " .
• Perform final tightening of bolts and at the front suspension member installation position (rubber bushing)
under unladen conditions with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, " Wheel Align-
ment Inspection " .
