1. INSPECT TIRES Click here 2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
NOTICE:
- Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.
- Be sure to perform measurement on a level surface.
- If it is necessary to go under the vehicle for measurement, confirm that
the parking brake is applied and the vehicle is secured with chocks.
- Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.
- The standard value shown here is a value that is used for performing a
wheel alignment and does not indicate the height of an actual vehicle.
(a) Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.
| (b) Measure the vehicle height. Measurement Points:
- A: Ground clearance of front wheel center
- B: Ground clearance of center of bolt head of front lower No. 2
suspension arm bushing (rear bolt of front lower No. 1 suspension arm
sub-assembly).
- C: Ground clearance of rear wheel center
- D: Ground clearance of center of bolt head of rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly and rear suspension member sub-assembly.

HINT: Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured. If the toe-in is not within the specified range, adjust it at the steering rack ends.
6. ADJUST TOE-IN | (a) Make sure that the thread length of the right and left steering rack ends are approximately the same.
Standard Difference: 1.5 mm (0.0591 in.) or less | |
(b) Separate the steering rack boot clips from the steering rack boot.

(d)
Adjust the steering rack ends if the difference in thread length
between the right and left steering rack ends is not within the
specified range. (1) If the toe-in measurement is
greater than the specified range (too much toe-out), extend the shorter
rack end so that the difference in length is within the specified range. (2)
If the toe-in measurement is less than the specified range (too much
toe-in), shorten the longer rack end so that the difference in length is
within the specified range. (3) Measure the toe-in. (e) Turn the right and left steering rack ends by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.
HINT: Perform adjustments so that the value is as close as possible to the median of the specified range.
