- Check caster and camber. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS table. Adjust if necessary. Set steering angle sensor in neutral position (steering wheel in straight-ahead position). Secure steering wheel in straight-ahead position. Connect SCS Service Connector (07PAZ-0010100) or fused jumper wire between 2-pin service check connector.
- Connector is located behind right front of center console. Active Torque Transfer System (ATTS) indicator should illuminate. Maintain this condition during inspection and adjustment of toe-in.
- Ensure parking brake is released. Measure rear wheel toe-in. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS table. If rear toe-in needs adjustment, hold adjusting bolt on rear lower control arm and loosen lock nut. Adjust rear toe-in by turning off-set adjusting eccentric bolt until toe-in is correct. Install lock nut, and tighten it while holding adjusting bolt. See Figure. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
- Measure front wheel toe-in. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS table. If adjustment is needed, loosen tie rod lock nuts. Turn both tie rods equally in same direction until front wheels are in straight-ahead position and toe-in reading is correct. Tighten tie rod lock nuts. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Reposition tie rod boots if they are twisted. Remove SCS Service Connector (07PAZ-0010100) or fused jumper wire.
NOTE:
Preludes equipped with Active Torque Transfer System (ATTS) require reprogramming of ATTS control unit for steering angle sensor neutral position, after toe-in adjustment is performed on front wheels. See appropriate article in AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION or MANUAL TRANSMISSION sections.
