TOE-IN

WARNING:

• Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.

• Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before pushing it.
1. Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both front tires

at the same height as hub center as shown. These marks are

measuring points.

4. Measure the distance (A) on the rear side of the front tires as

shown.

5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180

°

degrees (1/2 a turn).

CAUTION:

If the wheels have rotated more than 180

° degrees (1/2

turn), start this procedure again from the beginning. Do not

push the vehicle backward.

6. Measure the distance (B) on the front side of the front tires at the

same marks as shown. Total toe-in is calculated as (A – B).

7. Adjust the toe-in by varying the length of the steering outer tie-

rods.

a. Loosen the outer tie-rod lock nuts.
b. Adjust the toe-in by screwing the outer tie-rods in or out.

c.

Tighten the outer tie-rod lock nuts to specification.

FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE

NOTE:

Check front wheel turning angle after the toe-in inspection.

1. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges in straight ahead

position and rear wheels on stands so that vehicle can be level.

Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH

and RH road wheels.

2. Start engine and run at idle, turn steering wheel all the way right

and left, measure the turning angle.

• Any turning angles are not adjustable. If any of steering angles

are out of the specification, check if the following parts are

worn or damaged.

- Steering gear

- Steering column

- Front suspension components

If found that they are worn or damaged, replace them with new ones.

• Check the ball joint for excessive play. Replace the upper or lower link assembly if any of the following

exists:

• Ball joint stud is worn.

• Ball joint is hard to swing.

• Ball joint play in axial directions or end play is excessive.

Swinging Force 

NOTE:

Before checking the axial forces and end play, turn the lower ball joint at least 10 revolutions so that the ball

joint is properly broken in.
1. Measure the ball joint swinging force using a suitable tool.

• Measure at the cotter pin hole for upper ball joint as shown.

• Measure at the groove for lower ball joint as shown.

2. Verify the ball joint swinging force is within specification.

Turning Force

NOTE:

Before checking the axial forces and end play, turn the lower ball

joint at least 10 revolutions so that the ball joint is properly broken in.

Vertical End Play

Check dust cover for damage. Replace it and the cover clamp if necessary.
