## Front and Rear Suspension

#### Wheel Alignment

18-4

The suspension can be adjusted for front camber, front toe and rear toe. However, each of these adjustments are interrelated to each other. For example, when you adjust toe, the camber changes. Therefore, you must adjust the front wheel alignment whenever you adjust camber or toe.

Pre-Alignment Checks

For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel alignment, do these checks:

1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement.
2. Make sure the suspension is not modified.
3. Check the Tyre sizeand Tyre pressure.

Tyre size |
Front/rear | : 185/70 R14
| : 185/65 R15
| : 195/60 R15
Tyre pressure |
Front/rear | 210 kPa (2.1kgf/cm²,30psi)

4. Check the runout of the wheels and tyres.
5. Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a wheel with your hands and move it up and down and right and left to check for wobbling).

6. Bounce the vehicle up and down several times to stabilise the suspension.

Front Caster Inspection

1. Raise the vehicleand set the turning radius gauges beneath the front wheels and place boards under the rear wheels the same thickness as the turning radius gauges, then lower the vehicle.

NOTE: Be sure that the vehicle is level with the wheels on the turning radius gauges and boards.

Remove the wheel cap and install the wheel alignment gauge attachment (A) and camber/caster gauge on the wheel hub and apply the front brake.

Turn the front wheel 20 outward, then turn the adjusting screw of the camber/caster gauge to set the bubble at 0.
3. Turn the wheel 20; inward and read the caster on the gauge with the bubble at the centre of the gauge. If the caster angle is not within the specification, check for bent or damaged suspension components.

Front Caster angle: 133' 1
