Toyota 4Runner: Adjustment

ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

If the wheel alignment has been adjusted, and if suspension or underbody components have been removed/installed or replaced, be sure to perform the following initialization procedure in order for the system to function normally:

  • Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor and the test mode inspection.

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT TIRES

(a) Inspect the tires (See page ).


2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT


NOTICE:

Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specification.

(a) Press down on the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension, and then measure the vehicle height.

4. ADJUST CAMBER AND CASTER

HINT:

After the camber has been adjusted, inspect the toe-in.

(a) Loosen the front adjusting cam bolt and rear adjusting cam nut.

(b) Turn the front adjusting cam and rear adjusting cam in both directions, and adjust the camber and caster to the center value.

HINT:

  • The camber and caster should be as close as possible to the center value.
  • Adjust the camber and caster within +/-30'.
