Alignment: Service and Repair

Prior to checking and resetting front wheel alignment, check tire pressure to ensure it is correct, check wheel bearings for looseness and correct as necessary and check wheel runout with a dial indicator. Wheel runout should not exceed .047 inch (1.2 mm).




CASTER & CAMBER




Camber is not adjustable on these models. If camber angle is not within limits, check for worn or damaged suspension parts and replace as necessary. To adjust caster rotate strut bar adjusting nuts until specified angle is obtained.




TOE IN, ADJUST

Measure length of tie rod on each side and adjust to be equal. Adjust toe-in by turning adjusting tubes equal amounts. Clamp adjusting tubes after aligning clamps with tube slots. Lock tie rod ends so that inner and outer ends are at right angles to each other.
