Wheel Alignment Repair Procedures

Front Wheel Toe

When using a commercially available computerized wheel alignment tester, always position the vehicle on level ground with the front wheels facing straight ahead. Before inspection, make sure the front suspension and steering system are in normal operating condition and the tires are inflated to the specified pressure.

Toe

B - A > 0: Toe-in (+) B - A < 0: Toe-out (-)

Toe Adjustment

1. 1
   Loosen the steering tie-rod end jam nut.
2. 2
   Remove the bellows clamp to prevent the bellows from twisting.
3. 3
   Adjust toe by screwing the tie rod in or out. Toe adjustment must be made by turning the left and right tie rods by the same amount.

   Toe-in Total: 0.1 ± 0.2 Individual: 0.05 ± 0.1

   Tie Rod	Steering Direction	Toe
   Left (Driver's side)	Right	Decrease (Toe-in)
   	Forward	Increase (Toe-out)
   Right Side	Right	Increase (Toe-out)
   	Forward	Decrease (Toe-in)

   
   

   

4. 4
   After completing toe adjustment, install the bellows clamp and tighten the tie rod end lock nut to the specified torque.

   Tightening Torque: 49.0 ~ 54 N·m

   

CAMBER

ITEM	Description
A	Positive camber
B	True vertical
C	Strut Centerline

When the wheel is tilted outward at the top, camber is positive (+). When the wheel is tilted inward at the top, camber is negative (-). The steering knuckle assembled with the strut is preset to the specified camber at the factory and does not need adjustment. If camber is not within specification, inspect components for damage and replace as necessary.

Camber angle: -0.5° ± 0.5°

CASTER

Caster: 4.05° ±0.5°

Before measuring front wheel alignment angles, replace any worn or damaged front suspension parts. Camber and caster are preset at the factory to the specified values and do not require adjustment. If camber and caster are not within specification, replace bent or damaged parts.

Rear Wheel Toe

Toe

B - A > 0: Toe-in (+) B - A < 0: Toe-out (-)

Toe Adjustment

1. 1
   Loosen the nut securing the cam bolt of the rear toe control arm (A).
2. 2
   Adjust the rear wheel toe by turning the rear lower arm cam bolt (A) clockwise or counterclockwise. Adjust the toe by turning the left and right cam bolts by the same amount.

   Toe-out on turns: Total: 0.2° ±0.2° Individual: 0.1° ±0.1°

   cam bolt	Steering Direction	Toe
   Left (Driver's side)	Clockwise	Decrease (Toe-in)
   	Counter Clockwise	Increase (Toe-out)
   Right Side	Clockwise	Increase (Toe-out)
   	Counter Clockwise	Decrease (Toe-in)

   
   

   

3. 3
   After completing the toe adjustment, tighten the nut to the specified torque.

   Tightening torque: 137.3 - 157 N·m N·m (14.0 - 16.0 kgf·m, 101.3 - 115.7 ft-lbf)

   

CAMBER

ITEM	Description
A	Positive camber
B	True vertical
C	Strut Centerline

When the wheel is tilted outward at the top, camber is positive (+). When the wheel is tilted inward at the top, camber is negative (-). The steering knuckle assembled with the strut is preset to the specified camber at the factory and does not need adjustment. If camber is not within specification, inspect components for damage and replace as necessary.

Camber: -1.0° ±0.5°
