NOTE:
a) Please follow manufacturer’s (of tire
replacement machine) manual for wheel
alignment instructions, recommendations and
any other additional information.
b) Camber & TOE-OUT value at front has to be
adjusted while doing wheel alignment. Rest of
the values remains fixed i.e. NO adjustments
are required. Refer the given table for standard
values.
CAMBER ADJUSTMENT
1. Loosen the two strut mounting bolts.
2. Rotate the eccentric pin on Top of the strut till
required camber value is achieved.
If not check eccentric pin for excessive wear. If
so, replace with new one.
3. First tighten the eccentric pin flanged nut to
specified torque & then tighten the bottom bolt
to specified torque.
TOE OUT ADJUSTMENT
1. Loosen the tie rod end check nuts.
2. Steering rack & pinion gear comes with
1270.2±3 mm (nominal) length between
centers of the ball joints with tie rods parallel to
the rack. (As shown in following figure) Ensure
that number of threads of outer ball joints
exposed out of the tie rod tube is same on LH
and RH side.
3. Rotate the steering wheel from lock to lock.
Measure the number of turns.
4. Bring the steering gear to centre by rotating
through half the number of measured turns.
5. Remove the steering wheel & refit it so that
spokes & mascot (T-emblem) are correctly
positioned.
6. Ensure that both front tires are in straight
ahead position. Tighten the steering wheel nut
to specified torque.
7. Adjust toe-out as given below.
a) Toe-out is adjusted by varying the length of
tie rods after loosening their lock nuts (as
shown in above figure). After adjusting the
length of tie rods recheck toe-in and tighten
back the lock nuts. Increasing length of tie
rod will reduce the toe-out and vice-versa.
b) While adjusting toe-out, adjust the length of
both tie rods by rotating them in the same
direction such that their lengths remain
equal at all times.
8. Check the position of the T-emblem and the
spokes if the steering wheel is not centered,
