2. Carry out adjustment by turning the camber 

adjusting bolt (lower arm assembly mounting bolt 
which is located on the inner side of the body).

Left wheel: Turning clockwise (+) camber
Right wheel: Turning clockwise (

−) camber

NOTE: 

 

The scale has gradations of approximately 14’.

3. Tighten the control link to the trailing arm.

CAUTION

To prevent bushings from breakage, the connect-
ing bolt should be temporarily tightened, and 
then fully tightened to 90 

± 10 N⋅m with the vehi-

cle on the ground in the unladen condition.
4. After adjusting the camber, the toe should be 

adjusted.

D2. CHECK FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS 
FOR PLAY

M6020500200020

1. Remove the disc brake caliper and suspend it 

with a wire.

2. Remove the brake disc from the front hub.

3. Attach a dial gauge as shown in the illustration, 

and then measure the axial play while moving the 
hub in the axial direction.

Limit: 0.05 mm

4. If axial play exceeds the limit, replace the front 

hub assembly.

D3. CHECK BRAKE HOSES AND PIPES 
FOR LEAKAGE

M6020500300072

1. Check entire circumference and length of hoses 

and pipes.

2. Check all clamps for tightness and connections 

for leakage.

D4. CHECK BRAKE PADS AND DISCS 
FOR WEAR

M6020500400198

1. Check the brake pad thickness through the caliper 

body check port.

Standard value: 10.0 mm
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm

2. When the thickness is less than the limit, always 

replace the pads at an axle set.

3. Using a micrometer, measure disc thickness at 

eight positions, approximately 45

° apart and 10 

mm in from the outer edge of the disc.
Standard value:

<Front> 26.0 mm
<Rear> 10.0 mm

Minimum limit: 

<Front> 24.4 mm
<Rear> 8.4 mm

4. If the disc thickness is less than the limits, replace 

it with a new one.

BRAKE DISC RUN-OUT CHECK 

1. Remove the brake assembly, and then hold it with 

wire.

2. Temporarily install the disc with the hub nut.

3. Place a dial gauge approximately 5 mm from the 

outer circumference of the brake disc, and 
measure the run-out of the disc.
Limit:
<Front> 0.015 mm
<Rear> 0.04 mm

D5. CHECK BRAKE SHOE LININGS AND 
DRUMS FOR WEAR

M6020500500021

BRAKE LINING THICKNESS CHECK

1. Remove the brake disc.

2. Measure the thickness of the brake lining at 

several places.

Standard value (A): 2.8 mm
Limit (A): 1.0 mm

3. If the thickness of the brake lining is below the 

limit, replace the shoe and lining assemblies on 
both sides of the vehicle. Never replace only one 
side.

BRAKE DRUM INSIDE DIAMETER CHECK

1. Remove the brake disc.

2. Measure the inside diameter of the brake disc in 

two places or more.

Standard value (A): 168.0 mm
Limit (A): 169.0 mm

3. If the inside diameter exceeds the limit, or if it is 

excessively worn or one side, replace the brake 
disc.

D6. CHECK FUEL HOSES AND PIPES 
FOR LEAKAGE OR DETERIORATION

M6020500600073

1. Check entire circumference and length of hoses 

and pipes.

2. Check all clamps for tightness and connections 

for leakage.

OPERATIONS AFTER ENGINE IS WARMED UP

E1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN AUTOMATIC 
TRANSMISSION

M6020600100020

1. Drive the vehicle until the ATF temperature 

reaches the normal temperature (70 

− 80°C).

PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE: 

.

1. Measure ATF temperature using M.U.T.-II/III.

2. Check the oil level referring to the characteris-

tics chart if it takes some time to reach the nor-
mal operation temperature of ATF (70 

−

 80

°

C.)

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Move the selector lever to all positions to fully 

charge the torque converter and the fluid lines 
with ATF, and then move the selector lever to the 
N position.

4. After wiping away any dirt from around the oil 

level gauge, pull out the oil level gauge and check 
the level of ATF.
NOTE: If the ATF has a burnt smell, or if it has 
become very contaminated or dirty, it means that 
the ATF has become contaminated by minute par-
ticles from bushings (metal) or worn parts. In such 
a case, the transmission needs to be overhauled 
and the ATF cooler line needs to be flushed out.

5. Check that the ATF level is between the HOT 

marks on the oil level gauge. If the ATF level is too 
low, add more ATF until the level reaches 
between the HOT marks.

Automatic transmission fluid: 

 

DIA QUEEN ATF SP III 

NOTE: 

 

If the ATF level is too low, the oil pump draws air 
into the system along with the ATF, and air bub-
bles will thus form in the fluid circuit. This will 
cause a drop in fluid pressure and cause the shift 
points to change and the clutches and brakes to 
slip. If the ATF level is too high, the gear will churn 
the ATF and cause bubbles to develop, which can 
then cause the same problems as when the ATF 
is too low. In either case, the air bubbles can 
cause overheating and oxidation of the ATF, and 
also prevent the valves, clutches and brakes from 
operating normally. In addition, if bubbles develop 
in the ATF, the ATF can overflow from the trans-
mission vent holes and be mistaken for leaks.

6. Securely re-insert the oil level gauge.

E2. CHANGE AUTOMATIC 
TRANSMISSION FLUID

M6020600200232

SPECIFICATIONS

CHANGE PROCEDURE

If you have an ATF changer, use the ATF changer to 
flush the ATF. If you do not have an ATF changer, fol-
low the procedure given below.

1. Remove the hose shown in the illustration which 

allows the ATF to flow from the ATF cooler (built 
into the radiator) to the transmission.

2. Start the engine and discharge the ATF.

 

Driving conditions: N range, idling

CAUTION

The engine should be stopped within one minute 
of it being started. If the ATF has all been dis-
charged before this, stop the engine at that point.

Discharge amount: Approx. 3.5 L
