WHEEL ALIGNMENT

2.

Adjust using the adjust bolt (2) of rear lower link (1). 

CAUTION:

• Always evenly adjust both toe-in alternately and adjust

the difference between the left and right to the standard. 

• Always hold the adjust bolt firmly when tightening nut. 
• Always adjust to toe-in. The toe changes, depending on an attitude change or a permanent set of

bush. Accordingly, the state of the front wheels change to toe-out and the rear wheels, toe-in. If
the wheels change to toe-out, tire partial wear is accelerated and local heating may be acceler-
ated in the inner side of tires.

• Engaging in performance driving on a racetrack and ultra-high-speed driving, be sure to adjust

toe-in to 2.0 mm (0.079 in) or less. If used beyond this range, it is not covered by the warranty.
