Adjustment [07/2020 - ]: Procedure
- INSPECT TIRES
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1
- PREPARATION FOR INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT NOTE:
- 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.
- Check vehicle interior and luggage compartment for load status, if applicable, unload vehicle.
- Place specified load into the vehicle.
- Driver seat center position: 68 kg (149.9 lb)
- Passenger seat center position: 68 kg (149.9 lb)
- Luggage compartment center position: 14 kg (30.9 lb)
- Fuel tank: full tank
- Position weights in the luggage compartment until the nominal ride-level height of the vehicle is reached.
- Position weights in the footwell as far as possible in the direction of front axle until the nominal ride-level height of the vehicle is reached.
- Measure the vehicle height.
Vehicle Height
Tire Size Equipment Front (A) Rear (B) 17 inch w/o AVS 610 mm (2.00 ft.) 607 mm (1.99 ft.) w/ AVS 602 mm (1.97 ft.) 599 mm (1.96 ft.) 18 inch w/o AVS 621 mm (2.04 ft.) 619 mm (2.03 ft.) w/ AVS 614 mm (2.01 ft.) 612 mm (2.01 ft.) 19 inch w/o AVS 634 mm (2.08 ft.) 632 mm (2.07 ft.) w/ AVS 627 mm (2.06 ft.) 625 mm (2.05 ft.) NOTE:- Height is measured vertically through wheel center from lower rim flank to wheel arch edge.
- The tolerance for the vehicle height is 2 mm (0.0787 in.) or less.
- The difference between the left and right is 2 mm (0.0787 in.) or less.
- INSPECT TOE-IN
- Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.
- Release the parking brake and move the shift position to N.
- Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step C)
- Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of the front wheels and measure the distance between the marks (dimension B).
*a Tread Center Mark *b Dimension B Front of the Vehicle - Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the front wheels to rotate 180°. Use the front tire valve as a reference point.
HINT:
Do not allow the wheels to rotate more than 180°. If the wheels rotate more than 180°, perform the procedure from step C again.
- Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front of the wheels (dimension A).
*a Dimension A Front of the Vehicle Toe-in
Specified Condition C + D: 0°16' +/- 0°12' (0.27° +/- 0.20°) B - A: 3.1 +/- 2.3 mm (0.1220 +/- 0.0906 in.) HINT:
Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured.
- ADJUST TOE-IN
HINT:
Camber and toe-in influence each other. Adjust the toe-in first in order to simplify the adjustment procedure.
- Separate the steering rack boot clips (1) from the steering rack boot.
- Loosen the T50 lock bolts (2) on the tie rod end.
- Turn the right and left tie rods (3) by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.
- Tighten the T50 lock bolts (2) on the tie rod end.
Torque: 32 N.m (326 kgf/cm, 24 ft.lbf)
- Place the steering rack boots on the seats and install the steering rack boot clips (1).
HINT:
Make sure that the steering rack boots are not twisted.
- Separate the steering rack boot clips (1) from the steering rack boot.
- INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS INCLINATION
- Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge and place the front wheels on the center of a turning radius gauge.
*a Turning Radius Gauge *b Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge - Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.
Camber
Equipment Camber Inclination Right-left Difference w/o AVS -1°38' +/- 0°30' (-1.63° +/- 0.50°) 0°30' (0.50°) or less w/ AVS -1°45' +/- 0°30' (-1.75° +/- 0.50°) Caster
Caster Inclination Right-left Difference 7°35' +/- 0°30' (7.58° +/- 0.50°) 0°30' (0.50°) or less Steering Axis Inclination
Steering Axis Inclination Reference 17°21' (17.35°)
- Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge and place the front wheels on the center of a turning radius gauge.
- ADJUST CAMBER
HINT:
Camber and toe-in influence each other. Adjust the toe-in first in order to simplify the adjustment procedure.
- Adjust camber by changing steering knuckle (1) to service steering knuckle.

Refer to REMOVAL [07/2020 - ]
- Install the service steering knuckle.
Refer to INSTALLATION [07/2020 - ]
- Adjust camber by changing steering knuckle (1) to service steering knuckle.
- INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE
- Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of a turning radius gauge.
*a Inside *b Outside Front of the Vehicle - Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right and measure the turning angle.
Wheel Turning Angle
Inside Wheel Outside Wheel 38°23' (38.38°) 29°09' (29.15°) - If the right and left inside wheel angles differ from the specified value, check and adjust the right and left tie rod lengths.
- Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of a turning radius gauge.
