Front Wheel Alignment

FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
When using a wheel alignment tester to inspect the front wheel alignment, always position the car on a level surface with the front wheels facing straight ahead. Prior to inspection, make sure that the front suspension and steering system are in normal operating condition and that the wheels and tires face straight ahead and tires are inflated to the specification pressure.

TOE-IN





1 of 2





2 of 2

Toe-in (B-A or angle a+b) is adjusted by turning the tie rod turn-buckles. Toe in on the left front wheel can be reduced by turning the tie rod toward the rear of the car. Toe change is achieved by turning the tie rod for the right and left wheels by the same amount simultaneously as follows:
Standard value
Toe-in (B-A): 0 ±3 mm (0 ±0.12 inch)





NOTE:
^ Toe-in adjustment should be made by turning the right and left tie rods by the same amount.
^ When adjusting toe-in, loosen the outer bellows clip to prevent twisting the bellows.
^ After the adjustment, firmly tighten the tie rod end lock nuts and reinstall the bellows clip.

Tightening torque
Tie rod end lock nuts 50 - 55 Nm (500 - 550 kgf-cm, 36 - 40 ft. lbs.)

CAMBER
The steering knuckle which is integral with the strut assembly is preadjusted to the specified camber at the factory and requires no adjustment.
Standard value Camber : 0°±30'

CASTER





Caster is preset at the factory and can not be adjusted. If caster is not within standard value, replace the bent or damaged parts.
Standard value
Camber: 1°48'±30'





NOTE
1. The front suspension assembly must be free of worn, loose or damaged parts prior to measuring front wheel alignment.
2. Measure wheel alignment by using the special tool (09529-21000).
3. Camber and caster are preset at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
4. If camber and caster are not within specifications, replace bent or damaged parts.
