NOTE:

Front and rear toe-ins and front camber can be adjusted.
If toe-in or front camber tolerance exceeds specifications,
adjust toe-in and camber to the specification.

The other items indicated in the specification table can-
not be adjusted. If the other items exceeds specifications,
check suspension parts and joint portions of body suspen-
sion parts for deformities; and replace with new ones as
required.

1. WHEEL ARCH HEIGHT
1) Adjust tire pressure to specifications.
2) Set vehicle under“curb weight”conditions. (Empty lug-
gage compartment, install spare tire, jack, service tools,
and top up fuel tank.)
3) Set steering wheel in a wheel-forward position.
4) Suspend thread from wheel arch (point“A”in figure
below) to determine a point directly above center of
spindle.
5) Measure distance between measuring point and center
of spindle.

2. CAMBER AND CASTER

Inspection
1) Place front wheel on turning radius gauge. Make sure
ground contacting surfaces of front and rear wheels are set
at the same height.
2) Set ST into the center of the wheel, and then install the
wheel alignment gauge.
ST 927380000 ADAPTER
NOTE:
Refer to the“SPECIFICATIONS AND SERVICE DATA”for
the camber and caster values.

Front camber adjustment
1) Loosen two self-locking nuts located at lower front por-
tion of strut.
CAUTION:

When adjusting bolt needs to be loosened or
tightened, hold its head with a wrench and turn self-
locking nut.

Discard loosened self-locking nut and replace with a
new one.
B4M0189A
2) Turn camber adjusting bolt so that camber is set at the
specification.
NOTE:
Moving the adjusting bolt by one scale graduation changes
camber by approximately 0°10′.

Adjustment
1) Loosen the left and right side steering tie-rods lock nuts.
2) Turn the left and right tie rods equal amounts until the
toe-in is at the specification.
Both the left and right tie-rods are right-hand threaded. To
increase toe-in, turn both tie-rods clockwise equal amounts
(as viewed from the inside of the vehicle).
3) Tighten tie-rod lock nut.
Tightening torque:
83±5 N⋅m (8.5±0.5 kg-m, 61.5±3.6 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
Correct tie-rod boot, if it is twisted.
NOTE:
Check the left and right wheel steering angle is within
specifications.

4. REAR WHEEL TOE-IN (FWD MODEL)

Inspection
1) Using a toe-in gauge, measure rear wheel toe-in.
Toe-in: 0±3 mm (0±0.12 in)
2) Mark rear sides of left and right tires at height corre-
sponding to center of spindles and measure distance“B”
between marks.
3) Move vehicle forward so that marks line up with front
sides at height corresponding to center of spindles.
4) Measure distance“A”between left and right marks.
Toe-in can then be obtained by the following equation:
BA = Toe-in
G4M0483

Adjustment
1) Remove cap from lateral link and loosen self-locking
nut.
CAUTION:

When loosening or tightening adjusting bolt, hold
the bolt head and loosen self-locking nut.

Replace self-locking nut with a new one.
2) Using two wrenches, turn adjusting wheel and adjusting
bolt equally in opposite directions so that toe-in is at the
specification.
