   Vehicle height (Unloaded vehicle)

   Front (A-B)	Rear (C-D)
   114 mm (4.49 in.)	97 mm (3.82 in.)

   Measuring points

   A 

   Ground clearance of front wheel center

   B 

   Ground clearance of front center position of front suspension lower arm assembly front bush installation

   C 

   Ground clearance of rear wheel center

   D 

   Ground clearance of rear center position of rear suspension No. 2 arm bush installation bolt screw thread

   NOTE:

   • The standard value shown here is a value that is used for adjusting the wheel alignment and does not indicate the height of an actual vehicle.
   • Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.

   HINT: 

   Bounce the vehicle at the corners up and down to stabilize the suspension and inspect the vehicle height.

1. Put the front wheel on the center of the alignment tester.

2. Remove the center ornament.
3. Install the camber-caster-steering axis inclination gauge at the center of the axle hub or drive shaft.
4. Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.

   Camber, caster and steering axis inclination (Unloaded vehicle)

   Camber	-0°14' +/-45' (-0.23° +/-0.75°)	Right-left Error 45' (0.75°) or less
   Caster	7°55' +/-45' (7.92° +/-0.75°)	Right-left Error 45' (0.75°) or less
   Steering axis inclination	10°28' +/-45' (10.47° +/-0.75°)	Right-left Error 45' (0.75°) or less

   NOTE:

   • Inspect while the vehicle is empty.
   • The maximum tolerance of right and left difference for the camber and caster is 45' (0.75°) or less.
5. Remove the camber-caster-steering axis inclination gauge and attachment.
6. Install the center ornament.

   If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the specified values, after the camber has been correctly adjusted, recheck the suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts.

1. Inspect the front suspension member.

   1. Measure the dimension between the center of the installation bolts of the front suspension lower arm.

      Standard

      692.5 to 699.5 mm (2.28 to 2.29 ft.)

      If the result is not within the specification, replace the front suspension member.

2. Inspect the front suspension lower arm assembly.

   1. Remove the front suspension lower arm assembly, see the REPLACEMENT (See article. Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - 10/2015] ).
   2. Measure the dimension between the center of the front suspension lower arm assembly bush and position A.

      Standard

      396 mm (1.30 ft.)

      HINT: 

      If the dimension of the front suspension lower arm assembly changes 2 mm (0.079 in.), the camber will change approximately 15' (0.25°).

3. Inspect the front suspension upper arm assembly.

   Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002

   1. Remove the front suspension upper arm assembly, see the REPLACEMENT (See article. Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - ] ).
   2. Measure the dimension between the center of the front suspension upper arm assembly bush and the ball joint stud.

      Standard

      A 

      250 mm (9.84 in.)

      B 

      231 mm (9.09 in.)

      HINT: 

      If the dimension of the front suspension upper arm assembly changes 2 mm (0.079 in.), the camber will change approximately 15' (0.25°).

1. Based on the caster inspection values, select a lower No. 2 arm bracket.

   Part No. Information

   Part No.	Offset (position)	Part Name
   48075-30060	0'	Lower Arm Bush Bracket Sub-assembly RH
   48075-30080	+20'	Lower Arm Bush Bracket Sub-assembly RH
   48075-30090	-20'	Lower Arm Bush Bracket Sub-assembly RH
   48076-30060	0'	Lower Arm Bush Bracket Sub-assembly LH
   48076-30080	+20'	Lower Arm Bush Bracket Sub-assembly LH
   48076-30090	-20'	Lower Arm Bush Bracket Sub-assembly LH

1. Bounce the vehicle at the corners up and down to stabilize the suspension and inspect toe-in.

   Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)

   Toe-in

   A: 0°2.6' +/-5' (0.04° +/-0.09°) B - C: 1 +/-2 mm (0.04 +/-0.08 in.)

   HINT: 

   If toe-in is not within the specified range, adjust it at the rack ends.

1. Measure the thread lengths of the right and left rack ends.

   Standard

   Difference in thread length of 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less

2. Remove the rack boot set clips.
3. Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
4. Adjust the rack ends if the difference in thread length between the right and left rack ends is not within the specified range.
   1. Extend the shorter rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the inner-side.
   2. Shorten the longer rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the outer-side.
5. Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

   HINT: 

   Try to adjust toe-in to the center of the specified range.

6. Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends are the same.

7. Tighten the tie rod end lock nuts.

   Torque: 56 N*m (571 kgf*cm, 41 ft.*lbf) 

   NOTE:

   Temporarily tighten the lock nut while holding the hexagonal part of the steering rack end so that the lock nut and the steering rack end do not turn together. Hold the width across flat of the tie rod end and tighten the lock nut.

8. Place the boots on the seats and install the clips.
   NOTE:

   Make sure that the clips are facing towards the front of the vehicle.

   HINT: 

   Make sure that the boots are not twisted.

1. Turn the steering wheel fully left and right and measure the turning angle.

   Wheel turning angle

   Inside wheel	Outside wheel: Reference
   36°01' +/-2° (36.02° +/-2°)	41°35' (41.58°)

   If the right and left inside wheel angles differ from the specified range, check the right and left rack end lengths.
