*a Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge


Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge.


b.

Inspect the camber.

Camber (Unloaded Vehicle):
Tire Size Camber Inclination Right-left Difference
225/65R17 -1°20' +/-45' (-1.33° +/-0.75°) 0°45' (0.75°) or less
225/60R18 -1°20' +/-45' (-1.33° +/-0.75°)
235/55R19 -1°20' +/-45' (-1.33° +/-0.75°)


HINT:

Camber is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear, and replace them if necessary.



Hide 4.INSPECT TOE-IN

NOTICE:

Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.


a.

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


b.

Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N (for CVT, Automatic transaxle, Hybrid Transaxle).


c.

Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to neutral (for Manual Transaxle).

Front of the Vehicle


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


f.

Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the rear wheels to rotate 180°. Use the rear 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 A again.
