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

3. INSPECT TOE-IN

HINT:

• Measure "C - D" only when "A + B" cannot be measured.
• If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary

4. ADJUST TOE-IN (FF DRIVE TYPE)

(a) Measure the lengths of the right and left No.2 lower suspension arms.

No. 2 lower suspension arm length difference: 1.5 mm (0.06 in.) or less

If the left-right difference is larger than 1.5 mm (0.06 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.

(b) Loosen the 2 lock nuts.

(c) Turn the right and left adjusting tubes by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

HINT:

Torque: 56 NVm (570 kgfVcm, 41 ftVlbf)

5. ADJUST TOE-IN (4WD DRIVE TYPE)

(a) Measure the distance between each wheel disc and corner of the toe-adjusting cam, and then confirm that left and right distances are the same.

No. 2 lower suspension arm length difference: 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) or less

If the left-right difference is larger than 1.0 mm (0.04 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.

(b) Turn the adjust cams by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

HINT:

• Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
• The toe-in will change by the following specifications corresponding to each graduation of the cam.

  Approx. 3.3 mm (0.13 in.)
