FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT <2WD (except High rider)>



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’

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 (Refer to GROUP 37 - On-vehicle Service, Steering Angle Check ).

CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION



Standard value:
Camber
0°00’ ± 0°30’*
Caster

    3°54’ ± 1°00’* <tyre size: 195R15C 8PR 106/104R>
    3°48’ ± 1°00’* <tyre size: 215/70R15C 6PR 106/104S>

Kingpin inclination
15°24’
note *: Difference between right and left wheels must be 0°30’ or less.

1.Adjust the camber and caster until they meets the standard value by turning the lower arm camber adjusting bolt according to the camber and caster reference table (Refer to ).
2.After adjusting the camber, the toe should be adjusted.

3.If the caster is not within the standard value, adjust by turning the nut on the strut bar bushing.
Relation of variation:
Dimension (A)
+1.0 mm
Caster angle
-0°13’
note Turning the nut on the strut bar one turn clockwise will increase the dimension by 1.5 mm (A).
4.Measure the camber again to confirm that its value is within the standard value. If the value is not within the standard value, repeat the adjustment.
