ADJUSTMENT CHART

Adjustment Chart / 2JZ-GE:

HOW TO READ THE ADJUSTMENT CHART



1. Mark on the graph the measurements taken from the vehicle.

Example:
Camber: +0°10' (+0.16°)
Caster: +4°20' (+4.33°)

2. Read from the graph the amounts of the front and/or rear cams to be adjusted.

Amount to turn adjusting cam (by graduation):
Front Cam: + (Longer) 1.8
Rear Cam: - (Shorter) 2.2


FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT

NOTICE: Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to specification.

1. Measure front and the rear vehicle height, as follows.

Tire Size:
Front: 235/45ZR17
Rear: 255/40ZR17

Measuring points:



Front: Measure from the ground to the center of the lower suspension arm front mounting bolt.
Height: 188 mm (7.40 inch)




Rear: Measure from the ground to the center of the lower suspension arm No. 2 mounting bolt.
Height: 254 mm (10.0 inch)

If the vehicle height is not within the specification, try adjust it by pushing down on or lifting the body.




2. Install camber-caster-kingpin gauge or onto wheel alignment tester.
- Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.

3. Inspect camber, caster and the steering axis inclination (SAI).

Camber: -0°30' ± 45' (-0.5° ± 0.75°)
Left-Right Error: 30' (0.5°) or less

Caster: 3°30' ± 45' (3.5° ± 0.75°)
Left-Right Error: 30'(0.5°) or less

SAI (reference): 9°45' ± 45' (9.75° ± 0.75°)

If the steering axis inclination is not within the specification, after camber and caster have been correctly adjusted, recheck the steering knuckle and front wheel for bearing or looseness.

4. Inspect toe-in.

Measuring Point Reference:

Toe-in (total):
A + B: 0°00' ± 12' (0° ± 0.2°)
C - D: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.08 inch).

If toe-in is not within specification, adjust by the tie rod end.

5. Adjust camber and caster, as follows:
a. Remove the engine under cover.



b. Remove the nut, two bolts and the lower arm bracket stay.



c. Loosen the front and/or rear adjusting cam nuts.
d. Adjust the camber and caster by front and/or rear adjusting cams.
NOTE: Try to adjust the camber and caster to the center value.
e. Torque the front and/or rear adjusting cam nuts.
Torque: 226 Nm (166 ft. lbs.)

f. Install the lower arm bracket stay.
Torque:
Nut: 43 Nm (32 ft. lbs.)
Bolt: 59 Nm (43 ft. lbs.)

g. Install the engine under cover.

6. Adjust toe-in, as follows:





a. Remove the boot clamps.
b. Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
c. Turn the left and right tie rod ends an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.





NOTE:
^ Make sure that the lengths of the left and right tie rods are the same.
^ Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.

Tie rod end length, L/R difference: 1.5 mm (0.059 inch) or less

d. Tighten the tie rod end lock nut.
Torque: 56 Nm (41 ft. lbs.).

e. Place the boot into it's seat and clip it.
NOTE: Ensure that the boots are not twisted.

7. Inspect wheel angle.
- Turning the steering wheel fully and measuring the turning angle.




Inside wheel: 34°55' (32°55' to 35°55')
Outside wheel (reference): 30°35'

If the wheel angle are not within the specifications, check to see if the lengths of the left and right tie rods are the same.

NOTE: If the tie rods lengths are not equal, the wheel angle cannot be adjusted properly.

Re-inspect the toe-in after adjusting the tie rods lengths.
