  1. INSPECT TIRE 
    1. Inspect the tire (See INSPECTION ).
  2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT 
    1. Measure the Vehicle height (See FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT ).
      NOTE: Before inspecting wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.
  3. INSPECT TOE-IN 
    1. Inspect the toe-in.

      Toe-in 

      TOE-IN SPECIFICATION CHART

      Toe-in (total) -
      A + B:
      C - D:
      0°24' +- 12' (0.40° + 0.20°)
      4 +- 2 mm (0.16 +- 0.08 in.)

      HINT:

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

  4. ADJUST TOE-IN 
    1. Measure the lengths of the right and left No. 2 suspension arms.

      No. 2 suspension arm length difference:

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

    2. Loosen the 2 lock nuts.
    3. Turn the right and left adjusting tubes by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.
