   Ground clearance of the front drive shaft center

   B 

   Ground clearance of the front adjusting cam bolt center

   C 

   Ground clearance of the rear axle shaft center

   D 

   Ground clearance of the rear lower control arm front side center

   Standard Vehicle Height (Unloaded Vehicle)

   Front A - B	Rear C - D
   83.3 mm (3.28 in.)	80.8 mm (3.18 in.)

   If the vehicle height is not as specified, adjust the height by pressing down on the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension.

   *b	Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge

2. Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.

   Standard Camber Inclination (Unloaded Vehicle)

   Camber Inclination	Right-left error
   0°24' +/-45' (0.40° +/-0.75°)	45' (0.75°) or less

   Standard Caster Inclination (Unloaded Vehicle)

   Caster Inclination	Right-left error
   3°01' +/-45' (3.01° +/-0.75°)	45' (0.75°) or less

   Standard Steering Axis Inclination (Unloaded Vehicle)

   Steering Axis Inclination: Reference
   12°35' +/-45' (12.58° +/-0.75°)

   HINT: 

   The steering axis inclination is a reference value.

HINT: 

After the camber has been adjusted, inspect the toe-in.

1. Loosen the front adjusting cam bolt and rear adjusting cam nut.
2. Turn the front adjusting cam and rear adjusting cam in both directions, and adjust the camber and caster to the center value.

   HINT: 

   • The camber and caster should be as close as possible to the center value.
   • Adjust the camber and caster within +/- 30'.
