1. Measure vehicle height.
Tire size:
P215/60R16 94V
Front: 245 mm (9.63 inch)
Rear: 226 mm (8.90 inch)
225/55R16 94V
Front: 240 mm (9.45 inch)
Rear: 221 mm (8.70 inch)
235/45ZR17
Front: 238 mm (9.37 inch)
Rear: 219 mm (8.62 inch)

1: Front measuring point
Measure from the ground to the center of the lower suspension arm mounting bolt.
2: Rear measuring point
Measure from the ground to the center of the No.2 lower suspension arm mounting bolt.

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

If the vehicle height is not within the specification, try to adjust it by pushing down on or lifting the body.
2. Install camber-caster-kingpin gauge onto wheel alignment tester.
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
3. Inspect camber.
Camber: -0°47' ± 30' (-0.78° ± 0.5°)
Left-Right error: 30' (0.5°) or less

Measuring Point Reference:





4. Inspect toe-in.
Toe in (total):
A + B: 0°08' ± 12' (0.13° ± 0.2°)
C - D: 1.4 ± 2 mm (0.056 ± 0.08 inch)

5. Adjust camber and toe-in.





a. Measure the lengths of the toe control link and No.2 lower suspension arm, as shown in the illustration.
Length: A - B = 4.0 mm (0.16 inch) or less
If they are not within the specifications, adjust the lengths of them by turning the adjusting cam, as shown, until (A - B) is less than 4.0 mm (0.16 inch).
b. Measure the camber and toe-in.





c. Adjust the camber.
1. Loosen the camber adjusting cam nut of lower suspension arm No.2.
2. Turn the camber adjusting cam of lower suspension arm No.2 and adjust camber.

HINT: Camber changes about 5.0' (0.08°) with each graduation of the cam.

3. Torque the camber adjusting cam nut.
Torque: 110 Nm (81 ft. lbs.)





d. Adjust the toe-in.
1. Loosen the camber adjusting cam nut of toe control link.
2. Turn the camber adjusting cam of toe control link and adjust toe-in.
