Wheel Alignment Standard (Sedan)

WHEEL ALIGNMENT STANDARD

1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

Measuring points:
A: Ground clearance of front wheel center
B: Ground clearance of lower arm set front bolt center
C: Ground clearance of rear wheel center
D: Ground clearance of axle beam set bolt center










NOTICE:
- Before inspecting the wheel alignment, check the vehicle height.
- The standard value shown here is a value that is used for adjusting the wheel alignment and does not indicate the height of an actual vehicle.

HINT: Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension before inspecting the vehicle height.

2. INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS INCLINATION
a. Put the front wheel on the center of the alignment tester.
b. Remove the wheel cap.
c. Set the camber-caster-steering axis inclination gauge at the center of the axle hub or drive shaft.
d. Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.










NOTICE:
- Perform the inspection while the vehicle is empty (without a spare tire or tools on board).
- The tolerance for the difference between the left and right wheels is 0° 30° (0.5°) or less for both the camber and caster.

e. Remove the camber-caster-steering axis inclination gauge and attachment.
f. Install the wheel cap.

If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the specified values after the camber has been correctly adjusted, recheck the suspension parts for damage and wear.

3. INSPECT TOE-IN










HINT:
- Only measure C - D when A + B can not be measured.
- If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the rack ends.

4. INSPECT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE










a. Fully turn the steering wheel left and right, and measure the wheel turning angle.

If the right and left inside wheel angles are not within the specified range, check the right and left rack end lengths.
