Adjustment [03/2019 - ]: Procedure

INSPECT TIRES
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1 [09/2014 - 01/2023] , or refer to PROCEDURE - Step 2 [01/2023 - ]

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
129.7 mm (5.11 in.)	125 mm (4.92 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.

*a	Turning Radius Gauge
*b	Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge

Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.

Camber (Unloaded Vehicle)

Camber Inclination	Right-left Difference
-0°28' +/- 0°45' (-0.47° +/- 0.75°)	0°45' (0.75°) or less

9°48' (9.80°)

ADJUST CASTER

According to the caster measurement, select a lower No. 2 arm bracket sub-assembly.

LOWER NO. 2 ARM BRACKET SUB-ASSEMBLY

Part No.	Installation Position	Offset Angle
48075-24010	RH	0 (Standard)
48075-24080	RH	+21' (+0.35°)

*1	Lower No. 2 Arm Bracket Sub-assembly

HINT:

Perform adjustments so that the value is as close as possible to the median of the specified range.
Refer to the instructions for Removal and Installation of the front lower suspension arm assembly.
Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - ]

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).

Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)

Specified Condition
C + D: 0°00' +/- 0°10' (0° +/- 0.17°)
B - A: 0 +/- 2.0 mm (0 +/- 0.0787 in.)

HINT:

Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured.

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

ADJUST TOE-IN

Make sure that the thread length of the right and left steering rack ends are approximately the same.

Standard Difference

1.5 mm (0.0591 in.) or less

Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002

*a	Thread Length

Remove the steering rack boot clips.
Loosen the tie rod assembly lock nuts.
Adjust the steering rack ends if the difference in thread length between the right and left steering rack ends is not within the specified range.
1. If the toe-in measurement is greater than the specified range (too much toe-out), shorten the longer steering rack end so that the length difference is within the specified range.
2. If the toe-in measurement is less than the specified range (too much toe-in), extend the shorter steering rack end so that the length difference is within the specified range.
3. Measure the toe-in.

Turn the right and left steering rack ends by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.

Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)

Specified Condition
C + D: 0°00' +/- 0°10' (0° +/- 0.17°)
B - A: 0 +/- 2.0 mm (0 +/- 0.0787 in.)

HINT:

Perform adjustments so that the value is as close as possible to the median of the specified range.

Make sure that the thread length of the right and left steering rack ends are the same.
Tighten the tie rod assembly lock nuts.
Torque: 55.9 N.m (570 kgf/cm, 41 ft.lbf)
Place the steering rack boots on the seats and install the steering rack boot clips.
HINT:
- Make sure that the steering rack boots are not twisted.
