Front Wheel Alignment ConstructionS7RS0B2201002
Among factors for front wheel alignment, only toe setting 
can be adjusted. Camber and caster are not adjustable. 
Therefore, should camber or caster be out of 
specification due to the damage caused by hazardous 
road conditions or collision, whether the damage is in 
body or in suspension should be determined and 
damaged body should be repaired or damaged 
suspension should be replaced.
Preliminary Checks Prior to Adjustment Front Wheel 
Alignment
Steering and vibration complaints are not always the 
result of improper wheel alignment. An additional item to 
be checked is the possibility of tire lead due to worn or 
improperly manufactured tires. “Lead” is the vehicle 
deviation from a straight path on a level road without 
hand pressure on the steering wheel. Refer to “Radial 
Tire Lead / Pull Description in  Section 2D” in order to 
determine if the vehicle has a tire lead problem. Before 
making any adjustment affecting wheel alignment, the 
following checks and inspections should be made to 
ensure correctness of alignment readings and alignment 
adjustments:
• Check all tires for proper inflation pressures and  approximately the same tread wear. • Check for loose of ball join
ts. Check tie-rod ends; if 
excessive looseness is noted, it must be corrected 
before adjusting.
• Check for run-out of wheels and tires.
• Check vehicle trim heights; if  it is out of limit and a 
correction is needed, it must be done before adjusting 
toe.
• Check for loose of suspension control arms.
• Check for loose or missin g stabilizer bar attachments.
• Consideration must be given  to excess loads, such as 
tool boxes. If this excess load is normally carried in 
vehicle, it should remain in vehicle during alignment 
checks.
• Consider condition of equipment being used to check  alignment and follow manufa cturer’s instructions.
• Regardless of equipment used to check alignment,  vehicle must be placed on a level surface.
NOTE
To prevent possible incorrect reading of toe, 
camber or caster, vehicle front and rear end 
must be moved up and down a few times 
before inspection.
 
Repair Instructions
Front Wheel Alignment Inspection and 
Adjustment
S7RS0B2206001
Toe Inspection and Adjustment
Preparation for toe inspection and adjustment.
• Place vehicle in unloaded state on level surface.
• Set steering wheel in straight state.
• Check that inflation pressure of each tire is adjusted properly and wheel is free from deflection.
• Check that each suspension part is free from bend,  dent, wear or damage in any other form.
• Check that ground clearance at the right and left is  just about the same.
Inspection
Measure toe using toe-in gauge (1).
If toe is out of specified value, adjust it at the tie-rod. Front toe (total) “b”-“a”
: 0 + 1.0 / – 0.5 mm (0 + 0.0394 / – 0.0197 in.)

Side slip
When checked with side slip tester, side slip should 
satisfy following specification.Side slip

Removal
1) Remove windshield wipe r arms with wiper blades.
2) Remove cowl top covers  referring to “Cowl Top 
Components in Section 9K”.
NOTE
When servicing component parts of strut 
assembly, remove stru t rod cap and then 
loosen strut nut a little  before removing strut 
assembly. This will make service work easier. 
Note that the nut must not be removed at this 
point.
 
3) Hoist vehicle, allowing front suspension to hang free.
4) Remove wheel and disconn ect stabilizer joint (1) 
from strut bracket.
When loosening joint nu t, hold stud with special 
tools.
