Alignment: Testing and Inspection
STEERING ANGLE CHECKCAUTION: After adjusting the steering angle, always perform calibration to make ABS/ASC-ECU learn the neutral position of the steering wheel sensor.
1. Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge and measure the steering angle.
Standard Value:
2. When the calibrated value is outside the standard value, improper toe-in adjustment may be present. Check and adjust the toe-in correctly if necessary.
Standard value: 1 ± 2 mm (0.04 ± 0.09 inch)
To adjust the toe-in, remove the bellows clip of the tie-rod, loosen the locking nut, and then rotate the left tie-rod and right tie-rod in the reverse direction by an equal amount.
3. Recheck the steering angle.
