DESCRIPTION

Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. 
NOTE:
“Unladen conditions” means that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are in designated positions.

PRELIMINARY CHECK

Check the following:
• Tires for improper air pressure and wear
• Road wheels for runout: refer to 

XX-XX, "*****"

.

• Wheel bearing axial end play: refer to 

XX-XX, "*****"

.

• Shock absorber operation
• Each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation
• Each of rear suspension beam and shock absorber for cracks, deformation, and other damage
• Vehicle height (posture)

CAMBER

• Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable align-

ment gauge.

• If camber is outside specified range, replace rear suspension

beam. Refer to 

XX-XX, "*****"

.

TOE-IN

Measure toe-in by the following procedure.

WARNING:

• Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
• Check that no person is in front of vehicle before pushing it.

1.

Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).

2.

Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).

Put matching mark (A) on base line of the tread (rear side) of
both tires at the same height of hub center. These are measur-
ing points.
