STEERING ANGLE CHECK


caution
  • When the steering angle is adjusted, the calibration of steering wheel sensor must be performed (Refer to GROUP 35C, On-vehicle Service ).

1.Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge and measure the steering angle.
Standard value:

Specification
Inside wheel
Short wheel base
36°49’ ± 1°30’
Long wheel base
36°01’ ± 1°30’
Outside wheel (reference)
Short wheel base
32°06’
Long wheel base
32°18’
2.If the steering angle is not within the standard value, adjust the toe-in as follows.
Standard value:

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

3.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.
4.Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque, and tighten the bellows by the clip.
Tightening torque: 93 ± 15 N·m
5.Recheck the steering angle.
