2. Measure the vehicle height.

   Check the values in the top table.

   Refer to CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT 

   Measurement Points: 

   1. A: Ground clearance of front wheel center.

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

2. Inspect the camber, caster and steering axis inclination.

   Check the values in the top table.

   Refer to CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT 

1. Remove the front wheel.

   Refer to REMOVAL [11/2018 - ]

2. Remove the 2 nuts on the lower side of the front shock absorber assembly.
   NOTE:

   Keep the bolts inserted.

3. Remove the top and bottom bolts one at a time and confirm that the steering knuckle can move freely in the front shock absorber assembly.

   HINT: 

   • Reinstall each bolt after removing it and confirming steering knuckle movement.
   • If the steering knuckle does not move freely in the front shock absorber assembly, clean the contact surfaces of the front shock absorber assembly and the steering knuckle.
4. Temporarily install the 2 nuts. (Step A)
5. Fully push or pull the front axle hub in the direction of the required adjustment. (Step B)

7. Install the front wheel.

   Refer to INSTALLATION [11/2018 - ]

8. Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.
9. Check the camber.

   Check the values in the top table.

   Refer to CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT 

   1. If the measured value is not within the specification, calculate the required adjustment amount using the formula below.

      Camber adjustment amount = center of the specified range - measured value

      Check the combination of the installed bolts. Select appropriate bolts from the tables below to adjust the camber to the specified values.

      HINT: 

      Try to adjust the camber to the center of the specified values.

      To move the axle hub toward (+) in step B	To move the axle hub toward (-) in step B
      Refer to table (1) (To move the axle hub toward the positive side)	Refer to table (2) (To move the axle hub toward the negative side)

      The vehicle body and suspension may be damaged if the camber cannot be correctly adjusted according to the table above.

      NOTE:

      Replace the nut with a new one when replacing the bolt.

10. If the camber was out of adjustment in the previous step, perform the adjust camber steps mentioned above. In step A, replace the existing bolts with the selected bolts.

    HINT: 

    Replace one bolt at a time when replacing both bolts.

1. Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.
2. Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N (for Automatic transaxle, Hybrid transaxle).
3. Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step C)
4. 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

5. 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.

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

   Check the values in the top table.

   *a	Dimension A
   	Front of the Vehicle

   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.

1. Separate the steering rack boot clips from the steering rack boot.
2. Loosen the tie rod end sub-assembly lock nuts.

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

   Check the values in the top table.

   Refer to CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT 

   HINT: 

   • If the toe-in measurement is more than the specified range, shorten the left and right steering rack ends until the measurement is within the specified range.
   • If the toe-in measurement is less than the specified range, extend the left and right steering rack ends until the measurement is within the specified range.

   HINT: 

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

4. Make sure that the thread length of the right and left steering rack ends are the same.
5. Tighten the tie rod end sub-assembly lock nuts.

   Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 3

6. Place the steering rack boots on the seats and install the steering rack boot clips.
   1. for LH side:

      Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 5

   2. for RH side:

      HINT: 

      Perform the same procedure as for the LH side.

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

   Check the values in the top table.

   Refer to CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT 

   NOTE:

   Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

   1. If the right and left inside wheel angles differ from the specified value, check and adjust the right and left steering rack end lengths.
