Hide Display 2.MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

NOTICE:: ·

Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.

·

Be sure to perform measurement on a level surface.

·

If it is necessary to go under the vehicle for measurement, confirm that the parking brake is applied and the vehicle is secured with chocks.

·

Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

·

The standard value shown here is a value that is used for performing a wheel alignment and does not indicate the height of an actual vehicle.

Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.

Measure the vehicle height.

Measurement Points:

A: Ground clearance of front lower suspension arm bushing set bolt center

B: Ground clearance of rear trailing arm bushing set bolt center

C: Ground clearance of front wheel center

D: Ground clearance of rear wheel center

Vehicle Height (Unloaded Vehicle):

Front C - A	Rear D - B

*a	Turning Radius Gauge
*b	Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge

Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge and place the front wheels on the center of a turning radius gauge.

Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.

Camber (Unloaded Vehicle):

Camber Inclination	Right-left Difference
-0°25' +/- 0°45' (-0.42° +/- 0.75°)	0°30' (0.50°) or less

Caster (Unloaded Vehicle):

Caster Inclination	Right-left Difference

Hide Display 4.ADJUST CAMBER

NOTICE:: Inspect toe-in after the camber has been adjusted.

Remove the front wheel.

w/ ABS

Remove the bolt and separate the front flexible hose and front speed sensor from the front shock absorber assembly.

w/o ABS

Remove the bolt and separate the front flexible hose from the front shock absorber assembly.

Remove the 2 nuts on the lower side of the front shock absorber assembly.

NOTICE:: Keep the bolts inserted.

Remove the top and bottom bolts one at a time and confirm that the steering knuckle can move freely in the front shock absorber assembly.

HINT:: ·

Reinstall each bolt after removing it and confirming steering knuckle movement.

·

If the steering knuckle does not move freely in the front shock absorber assembly, clean the installation surfaces of the front shock absorber assembly and the steering knuckle.

Temporarily install the 2 nuts. (Step A)

Fully push or pull the front axle hub in the direction of the required adjustment. (Step B)

Tighten the 2 nuts.

Torque:: 240 N*m (2447 kgf*cm, 177 ft.*lbf)

NOTICE:: Keep the bolts from rotating when tightening the nuts.

w/ ABS

Install the front flexible hose and front speed sensor to the front shock absorber assembly with the bolt.

Torque:: 29 N*m (296 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf)

w/o ABS

Install the front flexible hose to the front shock absorber assembly with the bolt.

Torque:: 29 N*m (296 kgf*cm, 21 ft.*lbf)

Check the camber.

If the measured value is not within the specification, calculate the required adjustment amount using the formula below.

Camber adjustment amount = center of the specified range - measured value

Check the combination of the installed bolts. Select appropriate bolts from the tables below to adjust the camber to the specified values.

HINT:: Try to adjust the camber to the center of the specified values.

To move the axle hub toward (+) in step B	To move the axle hub toward (-) in step B
Refer to table (1) (To move the axle hub toward the positive side)	Refer to table (2) (To move the axle hub toward the negative side)

The body and suspension may be damaged if the camber cannot be correctly adjusted according to the table above.

NOTICE:: Replace the nut with a new one when replacing the bolt.
