Adjustment [09/2014 - 11/2017]: Procedure

INSPECT TIRES
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1

MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

NOTE:

Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.
Be sure to perform measurement on a level surface.
If it is necessary to go under the vehicle for measurement, confirm that the parking brake is applied and the vehicle is secured with chocks.
Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.
The standard value shown here is a value that is used for performing a wheel alignment and does not indicate the height of an actual vehicle.

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

Measure the vehicle height.

Measurement Points:

A: Ground clearance of front wheel center

B: Ground clearance of front lower suspension arm bushing set bolt center

C: Ground clearance of rear wheel center

D: Ground clearance of rear No. 2 suspension arm set bolt center

Vehicle Height (Unloaded Vehicle)

-	Front A - B	Rear C - D
for 2WD	119 mm (4.69 in.)	115 mm (4.53 in.)
for AWD	128 mm (5.04 in.)	116 mm (4.57 in.)

INSPECT CAMBER, CASTER AND STEERING AXIS INCLINATION

NOTE:

Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge and place the front wheels on the center of a turning radius gauge.

Rotate the front No. 1 suspension camber adjust cam assembly to adjust the camber.

Camber (Unloaded Vehicle)

Camber Inclination	Right-left Difference
-0°26' +/- 0°45' (-0.43° +/- 0.75°)	0°45' (0.75°) or less

Be sure to inspect toe-in after the camber has been adjusted.

HINT:

If the camber adjust cam is turned 1 notch to the left when viewing from the front of the vehicle (the bolt moves approximately 1 mm (0.0394 in.) to the outside), the camber will change by approximately -0°08' (0.13°).
Perform adjustments so that the value is as close as possible to the median of the specified range.

Tighten the nut of the front lower suspension arm assembly (on the front frame assembly side).

INSPECT TOE-IN

NOTE:

Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.
Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N.
Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step C)

Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of the front wheels and measure the distance between the marks (dimension B).

*a	Tread Center Mark
*b	Dimension B
	Front of the Vehicle

Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the front wheels to rotate 180°. Use the front tire valve as a reference point.
HINT:

Do not allow the wheels to rotate more than 180°. If the wheels rotate more than 180°, perform the procedure from step C again.

Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front of the wheels (dimension A).
