On-Vehicle Inspection BES0003K
Make sure that the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component status
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION OF TRANSVERSE LINK BALL JOINT END PLAY
1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal.
2. Measure axial end play by placing an iron pry bar or a similar item between suspension arm and strut
assembly and prying up and down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. Do not damage the installation position by applying
excessive force.
STRUT INSPECTION
Check for oil leakage, damage, and breakage of installation positions.
Wheel Alignment InspectionBES0003L
DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen” conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. A spare tire, a jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK
1. Check Tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Check Road wheels for runout. Refer to WT-3, "
ROAD WHEEL" .
3. Check Wheel bearing axial end play. Refer to FAX-5, "
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION" .
4. Check Transverse link ball joint axial end play. Refer to FSU-14, "
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL" .
5. Check Strut operation.
6. Check Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
7. Check Each link, rod, and member for cracks, deformation and other damage.
8. Check Vehicle height (posture).
INSPECTION OF CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES.

Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.

Before inspection, mount wheels onto turning radius gauge. Mount rear wheels onto a stand that has
same height so vehicle will remain horizontal.
Using a CCK Gauge
Install CCK gauge attachment [SST:KV991040S0] with the following procedure on wheel, then measure wheel
alignment.
1. Remove three wheel nuts, and install the guide bolts to hub
bolts.
2. Screw adapter into the plate until it contacts the plate tightly.
3. Screw center plate into the plate.
4. Insert plate on guide bolt. Put spring in, and then evenly screw
both guide bolt nuts. When fastening guide bolt nuts, do not
completely compress the spring.Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)

INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to PS-17, "COMPONENTS" .

When installing lower shaft to steering gear assembly, follow the procedure listed below.
–Set rack of steering gear in the neutral position.
NOTE:
To get the neutral position of rack, turn pinion assembly and measure the distance of inner socket, and
then measure the intermediate position of the distance.
–Align rear cover cap projection (A) with the marking position (B)
of gear housing assembly.
–Install slit part of lower shaft (C) aligning with the projection (A)
of rear cover cap (1). Make sure that the slit part of lower shaft
(C) is aligned with both the projection (A) of rear cover cap (1)
and the marking position (B) of gear housing assembly.
–After installation, bleed air from the steering hydraulic system.
Refer to PS-39, "
HYDRAULIC LINE" .
–Perform final tightening of nuts and bolts on each part under
unladen conditions with tyres on level ground when removing
steering gear assembly. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-
5, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
–Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking the wheel alignment for the models with
VDC. Refer to BRC-40, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure that steering wheel operates smoothly by turning several times from full left stop to full right stop.
