Camber Adjustment

Note:
^ Adjustable value is 30'.

1. Jack up the vehicle and remove the wheel and tire.





2. Remove the indicated bolt and replace it with the adjusting bolt and washer.
3. Adjust in the following procedures.





^ In case of adjusting to + (positive) side, install the adjusting bolt and washer so that the projection of the washer faces inside (shock absorber side) as shown.





^ In case of adjusting to - (negative) side, install the adjusting bolt and washer so that the projection of the washer faces outside (steering knuckle side) as shown.

4. Tighten the nut to the specified torque.
Tightening torque 103 - 122 Nm (10.5 - 12.5 kgf-m, 76.0 - 90.4 ft. lbs.)
5. Install the wheel and tire, then jack down the vehicle.
6. Shake the vehicle to settle the suspension.
7. Inspect the camber and readjust it if necessary.

Caster Adjustment
1. Jack up the front of the vehicle and support it on safety stands.
2. Remove the mounting block nuts.

Caution:
^ Use only position A to adjust. If other positions are used, the camber and caster will be out of the specifications.








3. Push the mounting block downward, and turn it to position A.
Adjustable value -30'
4. Install and tighten the mounting nuts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque 47 - 62 Nm (4.7 - 6.4 kgf.m, 34 - 46 ft. lbs.)

Total Toe-in Adjustment
1. Center the steering wheel and confirm that the vehicle wheels/tires are pointing straight.
2. Remove the steering gear boot clamp.
3. Loosen the left and right tie rod locknuts and turn the tie rods equally. Both tie rods are right threaded, so turning the right tie rod toward the front of the vehicle and the left toward the rear increases toe-in.

Note:
^ Turning both tie rods one complete turn changes toe-in by about 6 mm (0.24 inch) (0°36').

4. Tighten the tie rod locknuts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque 69 - 98 Nm (7.0 - 10.0 kgf.m, 50.7 - 72.3 ft. lbs.)
5. Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.
