WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT
Measure the wheel alignment with the vehicle parked on a
level surface.
The front suspension, steering system, and wheels should
be serviced to normal condition prior to measurement of wheel
alignment.

1. If the toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust the
toe-in by undoing the clip and turning the left and right
tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite
directions).
NOTE
The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is turned
toward the front of the vehicle and the right turnbuckle
is turned toward the rear of the vehicle.
2. Use a turning radius gauge to check that the steering
angle is at the standard value.
(Refer to GROUP37A - On-vehicle Service.)
TOE-OUT ANGLE ON TURNS
To check the steering linkage, especially after the vehicle
has been involved in an accident or if an accident is presumed,
it is advisable to check the toe-out angle on turns in addition
to the wheel alignment.
Conduct this test on the left turn as well as on the right turn.
