(0.47) Measuring points: : Ground clearance of front wheel center : Ground clearance of lower suspension arm front bolt center : Ground clearance of axle beam set bolt center : Ground clearance of rear wheel center NOTI: efore inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value. ounce the vehicle at the corners up and down to stabilize the suspension and inspect the vehicle height. F INSPT TO-IN Toe-in: S33 Toe-in (total) + : 0 ± (0 ± 0.9 ) - : 0 ± mm (0 ± 0.08 in.) Measure - only when + can not be measured. If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the rack ends. 4. JUST TO-IN (a) Measure the thread lengths of the right and left rack ends. Standard: ifference in thread length of.5 mm or less (b) Remove the rack boot set clips. (c) (d) Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts. djust the rack ends if the difference in thread length between the right and left rack ends is not within the specified range. () xtend the shorter rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the outer-side. () Shorten the longer rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the inner-side.

2 6-8 FRONT SUSPNSION - FRONT WHL LIGNMNT (From pril, 004) F45476 (e) Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to adjust toe-in. Try to adjust toe-in to the center of the specified range. (f) Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends are the same. Standard: 0 mm (g) Torque the tie rod end lock nuts. Torque: 74 N m (749 kgf cm, 54 ft lbf) NOTI: Temporarily tighten the lock nut while holding the hexagonal part of the steering rack end so that the lock nut and the steering rack end do not turn together. Hold the width across flat of the tie rod end and tighten the lock nut. (h) Place the boots on the seats and install the clips. Make sure that the boots are not twisted. (i) Perform VS system calibration (see page ). 5. INSPT WHL NGL (a) Turn the steering wheel fully and measure the turning angle. Wheel turning angle: Inside wheel Out side wheel: Reference : Inside : Outside F ± (33.70 ± ) (30.07 ) If the right and left inside wheel angles differ from the specified value, check the right and left rack end lengths. lignment Tester Gauge Z INSPT MR, STR N STRING XIS INLINTION (a) Put the front wheel on the center of the alignment tester. (b) Remove the wheel cap. (c) Install the camber-caster-steering axis inclination gauge at the center of the axle hub or drive shaft. (d) Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination. amber, caster and steering axis inclination: amber ± 45 (-0.57 ± 0.75 ) aster 45 ± 45 (.75 ± 0.75 ) Steering axis inclination 0 0 ± 45 (0.0 ± 0.75 ) 005 SION x RPIR MNUL (RM6U) uthor : ate : 67

3 FRONT SUSPNSION - FRONT WHL LIGNMNT (From pril, 004) 6-9 NOTI: Inspect while the vehicle is empty (without the spare tire or tools onboard). The maximum tolerance of right and left difference for the camber and caster is 30 or less. (e) Remove the camber- caster- steering axis inclination gauge and attachment. (f) Install the wheel cap. If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the specified values, after the camber has been correctly adjusted, recheck the suspension parts for any damage and/or worn-out parts. 7. JUST MR NOTI: Inspect toe-in after the camber has been adjusted. (a) Remove the front wheel. (b) Remove the nuts on the lower side of the shock absorber. (c) lean the installation surface of the shock absorber and the steering knuckle. F07339 (-) : Use adjusting bolt (+) (d) Temporarily install the nuts. (e) Fully push or pull the front axle hub in the direction of the required adjustment. (f) Tighten the nuts. Torque: 3 N m (,350 kgf cm, 97 ft lbf) NOTI: Keep the bolts from rotating and torque the nuts. (g) Install the front wheel. Torque: 03 N m (,050 kgf cm, 76 ft lbf) (h) heck the camber. If the measured value is not within the specified range, calculate the required adjustment amount using the formula below. (amber adjustment amount) = enter of the specified range - Measured value heck installed bolts combination. Select appropriate bolts from the table below to adjust the camber to within the specified range.
