The suspension can be adjusted for front and rear toe.
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 size and tyre pressure according to
tyre information.
4. Check the runout of the wheels and tyres (see page
18-9).
5. Check the suspension ball joints (see page 18-23).
6. Bounce the vehicle up and down several times to
stabilize the suspension.
7. Check that the steering column is set at the center
tilt and telescopic position.
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and remove the
wheel caps (see page 18-16).
NOTE: Push out the cap on the aluminum wheel
from the inside after removing the wheel.

2. 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.
3. Install the wheel alignment gauge attachment (A)
and camber/caster gauge on the wheel hub, and
apply the front brake.
4. Turn the front wheel 20 ° outward, then turn the
adjusting screw of the camber/caster gauge to set
the bubble at 0 °.
5. Turn the wheel 20 ° inward and read the caster
angle on the gauge with the bubble at the center of
the gauge.
• If the measurement is within specifications,
measure the front camber angle.
• If the measurement is not within specifications,
check for bent or damaged suspension
components.

Always use a ball joint remover to disconnect a ball
joint. Do not strike the housing or any other part of
the ball joint connection to disconnect it.
1. Install a hex nut (A) onto the threads of the ball joint
(B). Make sure the nut is flush with the ball joint pin
end to prevent damage to the threaded end of the
ball joint pin.
2. Apply grease to the ball joint remover on the areas
shown (A). This will ease installation of the tool and
prevent damage to the pressure bolt (B) threads.
3. Loosen the pressure bolt (A), and install the ball
joint remover as shown. Insert the jaws carefully,
making sure not to damage the ball joint boot.
Adjust the jaw spacing by turning the adjusting bolt
(B).
NOTE: Fasten the safety tie (C) securely to a
suspension arm or the subframe (D). Do not fasten
it to a brake line or wire harness.
4. After adjusting the adjusting bolt, make sure the
head of the adjusting bolt is in the position shown
to allow the jaw (E) to pivot.
5. With a wrench, tighten the pressure bolt until the
ball joint pin pops loose from the ball joint
connecting hole. If necessary, apply penetrating

type lubricant to loosen the ball joint pin.
NOTE: Do not use pneumatic or electric tools on
the pressure bolt.
6. Remove the ball joint remover, then remove the
nut from the end of the ball joint pin, and pull the
ball joint out of the ball joint connecting hole.
Inspect the ball joint boot, and replace it if
damaged.

gently to force out any air, then wipe the grease off
the tapered portion of the ball joint pin (D).
6. Adjust the depth by turning the ball joint boot clip
guide (A) until its base is just above the groove
around (B) the bottom of the boot. Then slide the

Damper Disposal
The dampers contain nitrogen gas and oil under
pressure.
The pressure must be relieved before disposal to
prevent explosion and possible injury when
scrapping.
Always wear eye protection to avoid getting metal
shavings in your eyes when the damper pressure is

relieved.
Place the damper on a level surface with its shaft
extended and drill a hole of 2 3 mm (0.078 0.118 in.)

Ball Joint Inspection
A
B
A

When inspecting the ball joint, the vehicle will be
shake strongly. Make sure support the front jacking
bracket correctly with the suitable jack (see page
1-11).
1. Raise the vehicle, and support it with safety stands
in the proper locations (see page 1-11).
2. Check all bolts, nuts, and bushings on the
suspension components, and make sure that there
are not looseness, deterioration, and damage.
3. Hold the bottom of the tyre (A) with your hands,
and move it up and down to check for abnormal
noise or wobbling.
NOTE:
• If the ball joint is abnormal, replace the knuckle
as an assembly (see page 18-16).
• A problem on the ball joint may be caused by an
abnormal clearance (B).
4. Check the ball joint boot (A) for weakness, damage,
cracks, and inner boot grease leaks.
NOTE:
• If the ball joint boot is damaged with grease leaks,
replace the knuckle as an assembly (see page
18-16).
• If the ball joint boot is weakness and cracks
without grease leaks, replace the ball joint boot
as a new one (see page 18-13).
