FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
When using a wheel alignment tester to inspect the front wheel alignment, always position the car on a level surface with the front wheels facing straight ahead. Prior to inspection, make sure that the front suspension and steering system are in normal operating conditions and that the wheels and tires face straight ahead and the tires are inflated to the specified pressure.
TOE-IN
Toe-in (B-A or angle a+b) 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-in change is adjusted by turning the tie rods for the right and left wheels simultaneously at the same amount as follows:
Standard value
Toe-in (B-A) mm (inch):.................................0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.08 inch)
NOTE: Toe-in adjustment should be made by turning the right and left tie rods at the same amount.
When adjusting toe-in, loosen the outer bellows clip to prevent twisting the bellows.
After the adjustment, tighten the tie rod end lock nuts firmly and reinstall the bellows clip.
Adjust each toe-in to be the range of ±1 mm
Tightening torque Tie rod end lock nuts:.........................50 - 55 Nm (500 - 550 kgf-cm, 37 - 41 ft. lbs.)
CAMBER
The steering knuckle which is installed with the strut assembly is pre-set to the specified camber at the factory and doesn't need to be adjusted.
Camber:.....................................0°13 ft. ± 30 ft.
CASTER
Caster is pre-set at the factory and doesn't need to be adjusted. If the caster is not within the standard value, replace the bent or damaged parts.
Caster:...................................2°58 ft. ± 30 ft.
NOTE:
1. The worn loose or damaged parts of the front suspension assembly must be replaced prior to measuring front wheel alignment.
2. Measure the wheel alignment by using special tool (09529-21000).
3. Camber and caster are pre-set to the specified value at the factory and don't need to be adjusted.
4. If the camber and caster are not within specifications, replace bent or damaged parts.
5. The difference of left and right wheels about the camber and the caster must be within the range of 0° ± 30 ft.
