FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT



caution When the suspension is adjusted or replaced, the calibration of steering wheel sensor must be performed (Refer to GROUP 35C- On-vehicle Service- Steering Wheel Sensor Intialisation ).
Measure wheel alignment with alignment equipment on a level surface. The front suspension, steering system, wheels, and tyres should be serviced to normal condition before measuring wheel alignment.

TOE-IN


Standard value:

    At the centre of tyre tread: 0 - 5 mm
    Toe-angle (per wheel): 0 ° 00’ - 0 ° 12’

1.Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clip and lock nut, and turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite directions).
note The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear of the vehicle.
2.Install the clip and tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 93 ± 15 N·m
3.Confirm that the toe-in is at the standard value.
4.Use a turning radius gauge to check that the steering angle is at the standard value.
STEERING ANGLE
Standard value:
Inner wheel
Short wheelbase
36°49’ ± 1°30’
Long wheelbase
36°01’ ± 1°30’
Outer wheel (reference value)
Short wheelbase
32°06’
Long wheelbase
32°18’

CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION



Standard value:
Camber
0°00’ ± 0°30’*
Caster
Short wheelbase
3°39’ ± 1°00’*
Long wheelbase
3°31’ ± 1°00’*
Kingpin inclination
11°30’
note *: Difference between right and left wheels must be less than 0° 30’

CAMBER AND CASTER REFERENCE TABLE



HOW TO READ THIS TABLE (EXAMPLE)



If the camber difference 0°36’ and the caster difference is -0°13’ by comparing the measurement value with the standard value, rotate the front adjusting cam by 2 graduations to the "A" direction and the rear adjusting cam by 3 graduations to the "B" direction.
note Solid lines show caster, broken lines show camber.
