For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel alignment,

Check the tire size and tire pressure according to tire information.
|
|
|
|
Use commercially available computerized four wheel alignment
equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning
angle). Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

|
|
If the measurement for the front camber is not
within the specification, go to front camber adjustment.
|
