SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT

When using a wheel alignment tester to inspect front wheel alignment, always position the car on a level surface and the front wheels in the straight ahead position. Prior to inspection make sure that the front suspension and steering system are in normal operating condition and that wheels and tires are free of deflection and tires are inflated to specification.

Toe-in

Toe-in (B-A or angle infinity) is adjusted by turning the tie rod turnbuckles. Toe in on the left front wheel can be reduced by turning the tie rod toward the rear of the car. Toe change is achieved by turning the tie for the right and left wheels simultaneously the same amount as follows:

MEASUREMENT SPECIFICATION
Toe (B-A) mm (in.) [Standard value]	3 mm in ~- mm out (0.12 in-0.12 out) none

NOTE

Toe-in adjustment should be made by turning the right and left tie rods the same amount.
When adjusting toe-in, loosen the outer bellows clip to prevent twisting the bellows. After the adjustment, firmly tighten the tie rod end lock nuts and reinstall the bellows clip.

Description	No. of turns	Toe changes mm (in.)/deg.
No. of turns of tie rod (same amount for right and left)	1/2	Approx. 5.5 (0.217)/32.5'
	1	Approx. 11 (.433)/1°5'

TORQUE SPECIFICATION
Tie rod end lock nuts	50-55 Nm ( 500-550 kg·cm, 36-39 lb·ft )

Camber

The steering knuckle which is integral with the strut assembly is preadjusted to the specified camber at the factory and requires no adjustment.

SPECIFICATION
Camber [Standard value]	-10° ± 30'

Caster

Caster is pre-set at the factory and can not be adjusted. If caster is not within standard value, replace the bent or damaged parts.

SPECIFICATION
Caster	2° 27' ± 30'

NOTE

The front suspension assembly must be free of worn, loose or damaged parts prior to measuring front wheel alignment.
Measure wheel alignment by using the special tool.
Camber and caster are pre-set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
If camber and caster are not within specifications, replace bent or damaged parts.

REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION

MEASUREMENT SPECIFICATION
REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT	7 - 3 mm ( 0.28 - 0.12 in )

NOTE

The rear suspension (T) mounting bolt should be turned an equal amount on both sides when adjusting. Loosen the rear-side nut prion to adjust the eccentric bolt.

SPECIFICATION
Left wheel: Clockwise direction	toe-in

SPECIFICATION
Right wheel: Clockwise direction	toe-in

The scale has gradations of approximately 2.4 mm (0.09 in.) (signal side to angle equivalent to 14')

CAUTION

The eccentric bolt should be adjusted within a 90° range left and right from the center position.

MEASUREMENT SPECIFICATION
Tread depth of tire [Limit]	1.6 mm ( 0.06 in )
