SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
M33FBAT
FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT‘d
TOE-INStandard value: 0 2 3 mm (0 +
.12 in.)
1. Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clips and turning the left
and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in
opposite directions).
2.After making the adjustments, use a turning radius gauge to
confirm that the steering wheel turning angle is within thestandard value range. (Refer to GROUP 37A
- Service
Adjustment Procedures.)Standard value:
Inner wheel
33”45’Outer wheel
28”21’
CAMBER AND CASTERStandard value:
Camber0” IL 30’
Caster3”55’ IL 30’
Install the special tool by tightening it to the same torque as
that applied to the drive shaft nut.
a
To adjust camber, turn the strut lower mounting bolt (upper).
One graduation is equivalent to about 20’ in camber. Caster hasbeen factory-adjusted to the standard value and requires no
adjustment.
Caution
1.One camber graduation changes toe by about 0.5 mm
(.02 in.). Be sure to adjust toe after camber has been
adjusted.
2.The difference in camber between right and left shouldbe within
O”30’.
WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENTM33FCAA
Bearing preload is pre-set to the specified value by design andtherefore can not be adjusted.

Using the MUT, check all control functions during operationwith the vehicle in stationary condition.
5-1. Anti-Roll Control Function Check:d
(1) Raise the front wheels on a jack and have them supportedby rigid racks.
(2) Place the steering wheel in straight ahead position.
(3) Select the Tour mode by the ECS switch.
(4) Enter a simulated vehicle speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) fromthe MUT.
(5) Using the MUT, check the indications of service data itemsNo. 61 through 64.
MUT indication: SOFT
12FOO64(6) Turn the steering wheel clockwise or counterclockwise
from the straight ahead position.
(7) Using the MUT, check that the indications of service dataitems No. 61 through 64 change over.
Approx. 0.2 seconds for 90” rotation
(8) Check that the original damping force indication (SOFT) isrestored a second later.
5-2. Anti-Dive Control Function Check
(1) Select the Tour mode by the ECS switch.
(2) Enter a simulated vehicle speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) fromthe MUT.
(3) Using the MUT, check the indications of service data itemsNo. 61 through 64.
MUT indication: SOFT
(4) Depress the brake pedal and simultaneously change the
entered simulated vehicle speed by the MUT. (Change thespeed in 0.4 seconds after depressing the brake pedal.)
(5) Using the MUT, check that the indications of service dataitems No. 61 through 64 change over.
