Wheel Alignment

Turning Angle Inspection
  1. Raise the vehicle and set the turning radius gauges beneath the front wheels, and place the 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 the boards.
  1. Turn the wheel right and left while applying the brake, and measure the turning angle of both wheels.
    Turning angle:
    With 16 inch wheels:
    Inward: 39 ° 04 '±2 °
    Outward (reference): 31 ° 33 '
    With 17 inch wheels:
    Inward: 38 ° 58 '±2 °
    Outward (reference): 31 ° 28 '
    With 18 inch wheels:
    Inward: 36 ° 59 '±2 °
    Outward (reference): 30 ° 23 '

  1. If the measurement is not within the specifications, even up both sides of the tie-rod threaded section length while adjusting the front toe. If it is correct, but the turning angle is not within the specifications, check for bent or damaged suspension components.
