Adjustment [07/2020 - ]: Procedure

  1. INSPECT TIRES 

    Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1

  2. 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.
    1. Check vehicle interior and luggage compartment for load status, if applicable, unload vehicle.
    2. 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
    3. Position weights in the luggage compartment until the nominal ride-level height of the vehicle is reached.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
  3. INSPECT TOE-IN 
    1. Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.
    2. Release the parking brake and move the shift position to N.
    3. Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step C)
    4. Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of the front wheels and measure the distance between the marks (dimension B).

      *b Dimension B
      Front of the Vehicle
    5. 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.

    6. Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front of the wheels (dimension A).

      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.

  4. ADJUST TOE-IN 

    HINT: 

    Camber and toe-in influence each other. Adjust the toe-in first in order to simplify the adjustment procedure.

    1. Separate the steering rack boot clips (1) from the steering rack boot.

    2. Loosen the T50 lock bolts (2) on the tie rod end.
    3. Turn the right and left tie rods (3) by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.
    4. Tighten the T50 lock bolts (2) on the tie rod end.

      Torque: 32 N.m (326 kgf/cm, 24 ft.lbf) 

    5. 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.

  5. INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS INCLINATION 
    1. Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge and place the front wheels on the center of a turning radius gauge.

      *b Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge
    2. 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

      Caster

      Caster Inclination Right-left Difference

  6. ADJUST CAMBER 

    HINT: 

    Camber and toe-in influence each other. Adjust the toe-in first in order to simplify the adjustment procedure.

    1. Adjust camber by changing steering knuckle (1) to service steering knuckle.
