Toe At 20° Turn (Elegance/Sport) 0°45'±30'

Front Camber



NOTE:
- Measure front axle level and obtain camber value from the table.
- Tolerance ±20', max. difference between left and right 20'.
Example: Front axle level (20 mm or 4.9°) = camber value (-0°39' ± 20')

Front Caster (VA=Front Axle Level; HA=Rear Axle Level)



NOTE:
- Measure front and rear axle level and obtain the front axle caster value (measured with the wheels turned 20°) from the table.
- Tolerance ± 30', max. difference between left and right 30'.
Example: Front axle level (20 mm or 4.9°) + Rear axle level (5 mm or -0.2°) = caster value (4°58' ± 30')
