4. STEERING ANGLE
•INSPECTION
•ADJUSTMENT
1) Turn the tie-rod to adjust the steering angle of
both inner and outer wheels.
2) Check the toe–in.
NOTE:
Correct the boot if it is twisted.
5. FRONT WHEEL TOE–IN
•INSPECTION
Toe-in:
0±3 mm (0±0.12 in)
1) Set the toe-in gauge in the position at wheel axis
center height behind the right and left front tires.
2) Place a mark at the center of both left and right
tires, and measure distance “A” between the
marks.
3) Move the vehicle forward to rotate the tires 180°.
NOTE:
Be sure to rotate the tires in the forward direction.
4) Measure distance “B” between the left and right
marks. Find toe–in using the following equation:
A – B = Toe–in
•ADJUSTMENT
When adjusting the toe-in, adjust it to the following
value.
Toe-in:
0±2 mm (0±0.08 in)
1) Check that the left and right wheel steering an-
gles are within specification.
2) Loosen the left and right side steering tie–rod
lock nuts.
3) Turn the left and right tie–rods by 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 by equal amount (viewing from the inside
of vehicle).
4) Tighten the tie–rod lock nut.
Tightening torque:
85 N·m (8.7 kgf-m, 62.7 ft-lb)
NOTE:
Check and correct the tie rod boot if twisted.
6. REAR WHEEL TOE–IN

C: DISASSEMBLY
1) Using a coil spring compressor, compress the
coil spring.
2) Using the ST, remove the self–locking nut.
ST 20399AG000 STRUT MOUNT SOCKET
3) Remove the strut mount, spacer and upper
spring seat from strut.
4) Gradually decrease the compression force of
compressor, and remove the coil spring.
5) Remove the dust cover and helper spring.
D: ASSEMBLY
1) Before installing the coil spring, strut mount, etc.
on strut, check for the presence of air in the damp-
ening force generating mechanism of the strut
since air prevents proper dampening force produc-
tion.
2) Checking for presence of air
(1) Place the strut vertically with the piston rod
facing up.
(2) Move the piston rod to the center of its entire
stroke.
(3) While holding the piston rod end with fin-
gers, move the rod up and down.
(4) If the piston rod moves more than 10 mm
(0.39 in) in the former step, purge air from the
strut.
3) Air purging procedure
(1) Place the strut vertically with the piston rod
facing up.
(2) Fully extend the piston rod.
(3) With the piston rod fully extended, place the
piston rod side down. The strut must stand ver-
tically.
(4) Fully retract the piston rod.
(5) Repeat 3 or 4 times from the step (1).
NOTE:
After purging air from the strut, be sure to place the
strut with the piston rod facing up. If the strut is laid
down for any reason, check for the entry of air in ac-
cordance with “Checking for presence of air”
4) Using a coil spring compressor, compress the
coil spring.
NOTE:
Make sure that the vertical install direction of the
coil spring is as shown in the figure.
5) Set the coil spring correctly so that its end face
seats well in the spring seat as shown in the figure.
6) Install the helper and dust cover to the piston
rod.

NOTE:
Position the upper spring seat as shown in the fig-
ure.
8) Install spacer and the strut mount to piston rod,
and tighten a new self-locking nut temporarily.

Tightening torque:
55 N·m (5.6 kgf-m, 40.6 ft-lb)
10) Loosen the coil spring carefully.
E: INSPECTION
Check the removed part for wear, damage and
cracks, and then repair or replace it if defective.
1. DAMPER STRUT
1) Check for oil leaks.
2) Move the piston rod up and down to check that it
operates smoothly without any hitch.
3) Piston rod play
•Measure the play as follows:
Fix the outer shell in place and fully extend the rod.
Set a dial gauge at the end of rod L [10 mm (0. 39
in)], and then read the dial gauge indication P1while applying a force of W [20 N (2 kgf, 4 lb)] to the
threaded portion. Apply a force of 20 N (2 kgf, 4 lb)
from the opposite direction of “W”, and then read
the dial gauge indication P2.
Play limit (P1 + P2):
0.8 mm (0.031 in)
If the play exceeds limit, replace the strut.
2. STRUT MOUNT
Check the rubber part for deformation, cracks or
deterioration, and then replace it with a new one if
defective.
3. DUST COVER
If any cracks or damage are found, replace it with a
new one.
4. COIL SPRING
If a permanent strain is found, replaced it with a
new part.
5. HELPER
Replace it with a new one if cracked or damaged.
