Section 3 Front Wheel AlignmentAdjustment:1. Check tire
2. Measure the vehicle height
Vehicle height:Tire sizeFront1 (mm)Rear2 (mm)
175 / 65R14 82H191 265
185 / 60R15 84H192 265Front Suspension System-Front Wheel Alignment4-43 1.front measure point
Measure the distance between the ground and the front underside
suspension mounting bolt center
2.rear measure point
Measure the distance between the ground and the rear axle beam mounting bolt center
Notice:
Before the wheel alignment,adjust the body to the specified height.If the body height is out of spec,adjustment
shall be done by pressing or raising vehicle body.

Toe-in:
If the toe-in is out of spec, adjust the ends of rack.
4. Adjust the Toe-in
(1) Remove the clamp of the rack boot
(2) Loose the jam nut of tie rod
(3) Adjust the Toe-in by rotating the same turns of both ends of
rack.
Tips: Adjust the toe-in to the intermediate value of spec.
(4)Make sure the same length for both ends
The length difference of left and right: 1.5mm or smaller
(5)Tighten the jam nut of the tie rod
Torque: 47N.m
(6)Seat the boot and crimp the clamp
Tips: rack boot must not be twistedFront
