Wheels: Service and Repair

FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT

TOE










Standard value
Toe-in
Total : -0.2°~0.2°
Individual : -0.1°~0.1°

NOTE:
- Toe-in adjustment should be made by turning the right and left tie rods at the same amount.
- When adjusting toe-in, loosen the outer bellows clip to prevent twisting the bellows.
- After the adjustment, tighten the tie rod end lock nuts firmly and reinstall the bellows clip.
- Adjust each toe-in to be the range of ±0.1°.

Tie rod end lock nuts(A) tightening torque :
50 - 55 Nm (5 - 5.5 Kgf-m, 36 - 39 lb-ft)





CAMBER









When the wheel tilts out at the top, then the camber is positive (+).
When the wheel tilts in at the top, then the camber is negative (-).
The steering knuckle which is installed with the strut assembly is pre-set to the specified camber at the factory and doesn't need to be adjusted.

Camber : 0°±0.5°

CASTER







NOTE:
- The worn loose or damaged parts of the front suspension assembly must be replaced prior to measuring front wheel alignment.
- Camber and caster are pre-set to the specified value at the factory and don't need to be adjusted.
- If the camber and caster are not within specifications, replace bent or damaged parts.
- The difference of left and right wheels about the camber and the caster must be within the range of 0° ± 0.5°.

WHEEL RUNOUT

1. Jack up the vehicle and support it with jack stands.
2. Measure the wheel runout with a dial indicator as illustrated.
3. Replace the wheel if the wheel runout exceeds the limit.











WHEEL NUT TIGHTENING

1. Tightening torque.

Tightening torque :
90 - 110 Nm (9 - 11 Kgf-m, 65 - 79 lb-ft)

CAUTION:
When using an impact gun, final tightening torque should be checked using a torque wrench.

2. Tightening order.
Check the torque again after tightening the wheel nuts diagonally.
