FRONT SUSPENSION
1. WHEEL ARCH HEIGHT
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2) Empty the vehicle so that it is at “curb weight”. (Empty the luggage compartment, load the spare tire, jack
and service tools, and fill up the fuel tank.)
3) Set the steering wheel in a straight–ahead position, and stabilize the suspension by moving the vehicle in
a straight line for more than 5 m (16 ft).
4) Suspend a thread from the wheel arch (point “A” in the figure below) and affix at a position directly above
the center of wheel.
5) Measure the distance between the point “A” and the center of wheel.

•Remove contamination including dirt and corro-
sion before removal, installation or disassembly.
•Keep the disassembled parts in order and pro-
tect them from dust and dirt.
•Before disconnecting connectors of sensors or
units, be sure to disconnect the ground cable from
the battery.
•Before removal, installation or disassembly, be
sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary re-
moval, installation, disassembly and replacement.
•Be careful not to burn yourself, because each
part on the vehicle is hot after running.
•Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and
nuts to the specified torque.
•Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified
points.
2. OIL
When handling oil, follow the rules below to prevent
unexpected accidents.
•Prepare container and waste cloths when per-
