Wheel Alignment InspectionINFOID:0000000003812473
INSPECTION
Description
CAUTION:
 Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
 If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle exceeds the standard value, check front suspension
parts for wear and damage. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is detected.
 Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required.
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.
Preliminary Check
Check the following:
 Tires for improper air pressure and wear
 Road wheels for runout: Refer to WT-2, "
Inspection".
 Wheel bearing axial end play: Refer to FA X - 6 , "
Inspection".
 Transverse link ball joint axial end play: Refer to FSU-11, "
Inspection".
 Strut operation.
 Each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation
 Each of suspension member and transverse link for cracks, deformation and other damage
 Vehicle height (posture)
CAMBER, CASTER, AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES
 Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.
 Before inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge. Mount rear wheels onto a stand at the
same height so that vehicle remains horizontal.
Using a CCK Gauge
Install the CCK gauge attachment (SST: KV991040S0) with the following procedure on wheel, then measure
wheel alignment.
1. Remove three wheel to nuts, and install the guide bolts to hub
bolt.
2. Screw the adapter into the plate until it contacts the plate tightly.
3. Screw the center plate into the plate.
4. Insert the plate assembly on the guide bolt. Put the spring in,
and then evenly screw the three guide bolt nuts. When fastening
the guide nuts, do not completely compress the spring.
5. Place the dent of alignment gauge onto the projection of the
center plate and tightly contact them to measure.
CAUTION:
 If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle exceeds the
standard value, check front suspension parts for wear and
damage. Replace suspect parts if a malfunction is
detected.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
 Kingpin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required.
Toe-In
Measure toe-in by the following procedure.
WARNING:
 Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
 Make sure that no person is in front of vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put matching mark (A) on base line of the tread (rear side) of
both tires at the same height of hub center. These are measur-
ing points.
4. Measure distance (A) (rear side).
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2
turn).
NOTE:
If the wheels rotates more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), start this
procedure again from the beginning. Do not push the vehicle
backward.
6. Measure distance (B) (front side).
 If toe-in exceeds the standard value, adjust toe-in by varying the length of between steering outer socket
and inner socket.

DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Never damage strut assembly piston rod when removing components from strut assembly.
1. Install strut attachment (A) (SST: ST35652000) to strut assem-
bly and secure it in a vise.
CAUTION:
When installing the strut attachment to strut assembly,
wrap a shop cloth around strut to protect from damage.
2. Using a spring compressor (A) (commercial service tool), com-
press coil spring between strut mounting bearing and lower rub-
ber seat (on strut assembly) until coil spring with a spring
compressor is free.
CAUTION:
Be sure a spring compressor is securely attached to coil
spring. Compress coil spring.
3. Make sure coil spring with a spring compressor between strut
mounting bearing and lower rubber seat (strut assembly) is free.
And then remove piston rod lock nut while securing the piston
rod tip so that piston rod does not turn.
4. Remove strut mounting insulator and strut mounting bearing,
and bound bumper from strut.
5. After remove coil spring with a spring compressor, and then gradually release a spring compressor.
CAUTION:
Loosen while making sure coil spring attachment position does not move.
6. Remove lower rubber seat from strut.
7. Remove the strut attachment (SST: ST35652000) from strut.
ASSEMBLY
1. Install strut attachment (SST: ST35652000) to strut and secure it in a vise.
CAUTION:
When installing the strut attachment to strut assembly, wrap a shop cloth around strut to protect
from damage.
2. Install lower rubber seat.
3. Install bound bumper onto strut mounting insulator.
4. Compress coil spring using a spring compressor (commercial service tool), and install it onto strut assem-
bly.
CAUTION:
 Face tube side of coil spring (1) downward. Align the
lower end (A) to lower rubber seat (2).
 Be sure a compressor is securely attached to coil spring.
Compress coil spring.
 Set coil spring so that its paint marks are aligned with the
positions of 1.25 turns and 2.25 turns from the bottom end
of the coil spring.
