Adjustment
1) Loosen right and left tie-rod end lock nuts (1) first.
2) Rotate right and left tie-rods (2) by the same amount
to align toe to specification. In this adjustment, the
lengths “A” of both right and left tie-rod should be
equal.
NOTE
Before rotating tie-rods (2), apply grease
between tie-rods and rack boots so that
boots won’t be twisted.

3) After adjustment, tighten lock nuts (1) to specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Tie-rod end lock nut (a): 45 N·m (4.5 kgf-m, 32.5
lb-ft)
NOTE
Make sure that rack boots are not twisted.

Steering Angle Check and Adjustment
When tie-rod or tie-rod end was replaced, check toe and
then also steering angle with turning radius gauge (1).
If steering angle is not correct, check whether right and
left tie-rods length “A” are equal.
NOTE
If tie-rod lengths were changed to adjust
steering angle, reinspect toe-in.

Steering angle
Inside: 36.0° ± 2°
Outside: 32.1° (Reference)
Reference Information
Side slip
When checked with side slip tester, side slip should
satisfy following specification.
Side slip
0 to IN 3.0 mm/m (0 to IN 0.118 in/3.3 ft)
If side slip is greatly difference, toe or front wheel
alignment may not be correct.

Repair Instructions
Brake Pedal ComponentsS6RW0D4106018
CAUTION!
If equipped Brake Pedal Foot Protection
System, never disassemble brake pedal
assembly. Disassemble will spoil its original
function. If faulty condition is found, replace
it with new one.

Brake Pedal Free Height InspectionS6RW0D4106001
1) Check brake pedal free height. If it is not within
specification, check and adjust following item 2) and
6).
Brake pedal free height “a” from carpet
111 – 131 mm (4.4 – 5.1 in.)
2) Check measurement between booster mounting
surface and center of clevis pin hole. When booster
push rod clevis has been reinstalled, it is important
that the measurement is adjusted (refer to “Brake
Booster Inspection”).
3) Check brake light switch position. Adjust it if it is out
of specification.
4) Check pedal for dent.
5) Check brake booster for installation.6) Check brake booster push rod for length.
Brake Pedal Play InspectionS6RW0D4106002
Pedal play should be within the following specification. If
out of specification, check brake light switch for proper
installation position and adjust if necessary.
Also check pedal shaft bolt and booster clevis pin
installation for looseness and replace if defective.
Brake pedal play
“a”
: 1 – 8 mm (0.04 – 0.31 in.)
Excessive Pedal Travel InspectionS6RW0D4106003
1) Start engine.
2) Depress brake pedal a few times.
3) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 300
N (30 kg, 66 lbs) load, measure brake pedal to wall
(dash panel silencer) clearance “a”. If clearance is
out of specification, possible causes are as follows.
If clearance “a” is less than specification, the most
possible cause is that air is in lines or brake fluid
leakage.
Should clearance “a” remain less than specification
even after bleeding of system, other possible but
infrequent cause is malfunction of booster push rod
length out of adjustment.
• Bleed brake system. Refer to “Air Bleeding of
Brake System”.

5) Connect fluid level switch coupler (1) and clamp (3)
to reservoir (2).
6) Fill reservoir with specified brake fluid up to its MAX
level.
7) After completing the work, bleed air from brake
system referring to “Air Bleeding of Brake System”
and bleed air from clutch system referring to“Air
Bleeding of Clutch System in Section 5C” (M/T
model).
8) Check each installed parts for fluid leakage.
9) Perform brake test and check fluid leakage.
Master Cylinder Removal and InstallationS6RW0D4106012
Removal
CAUTION!
• Never disassemble master cylinder since
the master cylinder is supplied as
assembly parts.
If faulty condition is found, replace it with
new one.
• Do not allow brake fluid to get on painted
surfaces. Painted surfaces will be
damaged by brake fluid, flush it with water
immediately if any fluid is spilled.

1) Clean outside of master cylinder.
2) Disconnect fluid level switch coupler (1) and clamp
(3) from reservoir (2).
