I1 EN067-(2) Measure the journal O.D. and main bearing I.D. to obtain
the clearance between the two (oil clearance). If the
clearance exceeds the limit, replace the main bearing and,if necessary, the crankshaft.
Standard value:
0.02-0.05 mm (.OOOS-.0020 in.)
Limit: 0.1 mm
(.0040 in.)
Caution
A special
surface treatment has been applied to
crankshaft. Do not machine it to undersize.
CRANKSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE (PLASTIC GAUGE
METHOD)
The crankshaft oil clearance can be measured easily by using aplastic gauge, as follows:
(1) Remove oil and grease and any other foreign matters from
crankshaft journal and bearing inner surface.
(2) Install the crankshaft.
(3) Cut the plastic gauge to the same length as the width of
bearing and place it on journal in parallel with its axis.
(4) Gently place the crankshaft bearing cap over it and tighten
the bolts to the specified torque.
(5) Remove the bolts and gently remove the crankshaft
bearing cap.(6) Measure the width of the smashed plastic gauge at its
widest section by using a scale printed on the plastic gauge
bag.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTIONN17FAAC
The rear suspension assembly must be free of worn, loosen or
damaged parts prior to measurement of rear wheel alignment.
Standard value:
Toe-in (Left-right difference)
Of3 mm (Of.118 in.)
Camber-45’ + 30’
NOTEThe rear wheel alignment is set at the factory and cannot be
adjusted.If toe-in or camber is not within the standard value, replace
bent or damaged parts.
WHEEL BEARING END PLAY ADJUSTMENT,7FBA0
1.Inspect the play of the bearings while the vehicle is jacked
up and resting on floor jack.
2.Remove the hub cap and then release the parking brake.
3. Remove the caliper assembly and the brake disc.
4. Check the bearing’s end play.
Place a dial gauge against the hub surface; then move the
hub in the axial direction and check whether or not there isend play.
Limit: 0.01 mm
(.004 in.) or less
NOTE12AO531If the limit value is exceeded, the lock nut should be
tightened to the specified torque and check the end play
again.
5.Replace the rear hub bearing unit if an adjustment cannot
be made to within the limit.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTIONN17FDAB is.Measure the wheel alignment with the vehicle parked on level
--’
ground.The rear suspension and wheels should be inspected for
wear’or damage and repaired prior to measurement of wheel,
alignment.
TOE-IN
(1) Measure the toe-in with a toe-in gauge.
Standard value:
3.6f3 mm (.14+ .I18 in.)
(2) If the toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust it by
moving the mounting bolts located on the crossmember
side of the trailing arm.
NOTEMake the adjustment by moving the left and the right bolts
r;hr
equally.Movement of one division on the scale will cause toe-in
variation of about 2 mm
(.08 in.).
CAMBER
(1) Measure the camber with a camber/caster/kingpin gauge.
Standard value:
-1”33’f30’(2) If the camber is not within the standard value, adjust it by
moving the mounting bolt located on the crossmember
side of the upper arm.
NOTEMovement of one division on the scale will cause camber
variation of about 15’.
Caution
1. As toe-in will vary 0.9 mm
(.035 in.) for every
camber scale adjustment, adjust the toe after
adjusting camber.
2. The difference between the left and the right
camber shall be less than 15’.

V-BELT TENSION CHECKNlSFliAl
1.Check to be sure that the belt is not damaged and that the
V-belt is correctly attached to the groove of the pulley.
NOTE, If there is abnormal noise or belt slippage, check the belt
tension and check for unusual wear or abrasion, or damage,
of the
pullev contact surface, and for scars or scratches onthe
pulley.2.
Press in V-belt at the illustrated position with about 100 N
(22 Ibs.) and measure deflection.
Standard value: 6-9 mm
1.26.35 in.)
3. If there is a deviation from the standard value range, make
an adjustment of the belt tension by following the procedures
described below.
(1) Loosen bolts A, B and C (for holding the oil pump).
(2) Place a bar or similar object against the body of the oil
pump, and, while manually providing the suitable
amount of tension, adjust the amount of
flexion of the
belt.
(3) Tighten bolts A, B and C (for holding the oil pump).
(4) Check the amount of flexion of the belt; readjust if
necessary.
CautionThe check should be made after turning the engine
one time or more in the regular direction of rotation (tothe
dght).
FLUID LEVEL CHECKNlSFIAI
1.Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, startthe engine, andthen turn the steering wheel several times to raise the
temperature of the fluid to approximately
50-60°C
(122-140°F).2. With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to the
left and right several times.3. Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness.
Check the difference of the fluid level when the engine is
stopped, and while it is running. If the fluid level changes
considerably, air bleeding should be done.
FLUID REPLACEMENTNlSFJAJ
1.Raise the front wheels on a jack, and then support them with
rigid racks.2. Disconnect the return hose connection.
3.Connect a vinyl hose to the return hose, and drain the oil into
a container.
