2B-6 WHEEL ALIGNMENT
VIBRATION DIAGNOSIS
Wheel imbalance causes most highway speed vibration
problems. A vibration can remain after dynamic balanc-
ing because:
A tire is out of round
A rim is out of round
A tire stiffness variation exists
Measuring tire and wheel free runout will uncover only
part of the problem. All three causes, known as loaded
radial runout, must be checked using method of substi-
tuting known good tire and wheel assemblies on the
problem vehicle.
Tire Balancing
Balance is the easiest procedure to perform and should
be done first if the vibration occurs at high speeds. Do
an off-vehicle, two-plane dynamic balance first to
correct any imbalance in the tire and wheel assembly.
An on-vehicle finish balance will correct any brake drum,
rotor, or wheel cover imbalance, If balancing does not
correct the high-speed vibration, or if the vibration oc-
curs at low speeds, runout is the probable cause.
Preliminary Checks
Prior to performing any work, always road test the car
and perform a careful visual inspection for:
Obvious tire and wheel runout.
Obvious drive axle runout.
Improper tire inflation.
Incorrect trim height.
Bent or damaged wheels.
Debris build-up on the tire or the wheel.
Irregular or excessive tire wear.
Improper tire bead seating on the rim,
Imperfections in the tires, including: tread deforma-
tions, separations, or bulges from impact damage.
Slight sidewall indentations are normal and will not
affect ride quality.

VEHICLE HEIGHT
Adjustment Procedure
1. Check the tire for proper inflation.
2. Measure ‘A’ from the center of the lower arm
rear mounting bolt end to the ground.

FRONT TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment Procedure
1. Disconnect the outer tie rods from the knuckle as-
semblies. Refer to Section 6C, Power Steering
Gear.
2. Loosen the front toe adjusting nut.
Notice: In this adjustment, the right and the left tie
rods must be equal in length, or the tires will wear
unevenly.
3. Turn the right and the left outer tie rods to align the
toe to the proper specifications. Refer to “Wheel
Alignment Specifications” in this section.
KAA2B080
4. Hold the outer tie rod and tighten the front toe adjust-
ing nut.
Adjustment Notice

Removal and Installation Procedure
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the height control bolt.
Notice:
Install the torsion bar and adjust the distance
be tween the end of the height control blot and
piece end of the bolt to be 50 - 55 mm (1.97 -
2.17 inch). Adjust the vehicle height.

DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES
EXCESSIVE FRICTION CHECK
Ball Joint Inspection
Check excessive friction in the rear suspension as fol-
lows:
1. With the aid of a helper, lift up on the rear bumper
and raise the vehicle as high as possible. Slow
release the bumper and allow the car to assume
normal trim height.
2. Measure the distance from the floor to the center
of the bumper.3. Push down on the bumper, release slowly, and
allow the car to assume normal trim height.
4. Measure the distance from the floor to the center
of the bumper.
The distance between the two measurements should
be less than 12.7 mm (0.50 inch). If the difference
exceeds this limit, inspect the control arms for damage
or wear.

LCRV (LOAD CONSCIOUS
REDUCING VALVE)
LCRV consists of sensing part and hydraulic control
part.
1. Sensing Part
It detects the changes of vehicle height caused
by vehicle load. It consists of load sensing spring
and control lever which change according to
vehicle load.
2. Hydraulic Control Part
It consists of valve stem devices which controls
hydraulic pressure according to load detected by
sensing part.

4. Place alignment marks between the lock nut (b)
and adjusting screw (c) after the valve setting.
5. LCRV setting should be performed with unloaded
vehicle condition.
Setting Method
1. Install the connecting rod (a) to the No.1 hole.
2. Adjust the clearance “X” to be 0mm and tighten
the bolt (c) using the lock nut (b).
