FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT


Measure wheel alignment with alignment equipment on a level surface. The front suspension, steering system, wheels, and tyres should be serviced to normal condition before measuring wheel alignment.

TOE-IN
Standard value:

    At the centre of tyre tread: 0 - 5 mm
    Toe angle (per wheel): 0 ° 00’ - 0 ° 12’ mm

1.Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clip and lock nut, and turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite directions).
note The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear of the vehicle.
2.Install the clip and tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 93 ± 15 N·m
3.Confirm that the toe-in is at the standard value.
4.Use a turning radius gauge to check that the steering angle is at the standard value.
STEERING ANGLE

Inner wheels
 Short wheel base
 36°49’ ± 1°30’
Long wheel base
 36°01’ ± 1°30’
Outer wheels (reference)

 32°06’
Long wheel base
 32°18’

CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION

Standard value:
Item
 Standard value

 0°00’ ± 0°30’*
Caster
 Short wheel base
 3°39’ ± 1°00’*
Long wheel base
 3°31’ ± 1°00’*

note *: Difference between right and left wheels must be less than 30’

CAMBER AND CASTER REFERENCE TABLE

HOW TO READ THIS TABLE (EXAMPLE)

If the camber difference 0°36’ and the caster difference is -0°13’ by comparing the measurement value with the standard value, rotate the front adjusting cam by 1.5 graduations and the rear adjusting cam by 2.5 graduations to the "B" direction.
note Solid lines show caster, broken lines show camber.
