1 Page 1 of 8 WHEEL ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES TURNING ANGLE Turn steering wheel fully right and then left, and observe turning radius on both wheels. If turning radius is incorrect, inspect and replace any damaged or worn front suspension components. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. CAMBER ADJUSTMENT Front Suspension (Except Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Tundra & 4Runner) Check tires for wear and improper inflation. Inspect front wheel bearings for looseness. Check wheel runout. Wheel runout should not exceed.039"(0 mm). Inspect front suspension components for looseness. Ensure front shock absorbers work properly. Measure vehicle riding height. See RIDING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT. Measure camber of both front wheels. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. If camber is not within specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn front suspension components. Loosen lower strut mounting bolts and move steering knuckle until camber is within specification. Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Front Suspension (Tacoma 2WD) Check tires for wear and improper inflation. Inspect front wheel bearings for looseness. Check wheel runout. Wheel runout should not exceed.118" (0 mm). Inspect front suspension components for looseness. Ensure front shock absorbers work properly. Measure vehicle riding height. See RIDING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT. Measure camber of both front wheels. If camber is not within specification, add or remove shims on upper suspension arms. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. See Fig. 6. Front Suspension (Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Tacoma 4WD, Tundra & 4Runner) Check tires for wear and improper inflation. Inspect front wheel bearings for looseness. Check wheel runout. Wheel runout should not exceed.118" (0 mm). Inspect front suspension components for looseness. Ensure front shock absorbers work properly. Measure vehicle riding height. See RIDING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT. Measure camber of both front wheels. If camber is not within specification, loosen adjuster cam lock nuts. Rotate adjuster cams as necessary. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. See Fig. 7. Tighten lock nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.

Rear Suspension (Except Celica & RAV4) Check tires for wear and improper inflation. Measure camber of both rear wheels. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. If camber is not within specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension components. Camber is not adjustable.

4 Page 4 of 8 Rear Suspension (Celica & RAV4) Check tires for wear and improper inflation. Check camber of both rear wheels. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. If camber is not within specification, adjust camber by rotating adjuster cams. See Fig. 8. Measure distance from left side lower suspension arm bracket set bolt to right side axle carrier rear side set bolt and record measurement. See Fig. 9. Measure distance from right side lower suspension arm bracket set bolt to left side axle carrier rear side set bolt and compare to previous measurement. Adjust (if necessary) by turning adjusting cams until the difference is less than.24" (6 mm) Fig. 8: Identifying Camber/Toe Adjuster Cam (RAV4 Shown; Celica, Highlander & MR2 Are Similar) Courtesy of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES U.S.A., LTD.

7 Page 7 of 8 Measure riding height, camber, and steering axis inclination. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. If adjustment is necessary, see appropriate adjustment procedure. Measure caster of both front wheels. If caster is not within specification, loosen adjuster cam lock nuts. Rotate adjuster cams as necessary. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. See Fig. 7. Tighten lock nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. STEERING AXIS/KING PIN INCLINATION Avalon, Camry, Camry Solara, Celica, Corolla, ECHO, MR2, Prius, Highlander, Land Cruiser, RAV4, Sienna & Tacoma 4WD Measure riding height and camber. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. If adjustment is necessary, see appropriate adjustment procedure. Measure steering axis inclination of both front wheels. If steering axis inclination is not within specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn front suspension components. On Land Cruiser, inspect wheel bearing for looseness, or replace steering knuckle. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. Steering axis/king pin inclination is not adjustable. Sequoia, Tacoma 2WD, Tundra & 4Runner Measure riding height and camber. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. If adjustment is necessary, see appropriate adjustment procedure. Measure steering axis inclination of both front wheels. If steering axis inclination is not within specification after camber and caster have been adjusted to specification, inspect wheel bearing for looseness, or replace steering knuckle. TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT Front Suspension Measure riding height, camber, steering axis inclination, and caster. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. If adjustment is necessary, see appropriate adjustment procedure. Set front wheels to straight-ahead position. Bounce both ends of vehicle several times to settle suspension. Measure toe-in. If necessary, adjust toe-in by changing length of tie rods. Rear Suspension (Avalon, Camry, Camry Solara, Corolla & Highlander) Measure rear camber. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. Bounce both ends of vehicle several times to settle suspension. Measure length of left and right No. 2 suspension arms. See Fig. 11. Ensure lengths of both arms are equal within.039" (0 mm). If toe-in is not within specification, adjust toe-in by rotating rear toe adjuster sleeves, located on No. 2 suspension arms. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS. Tighten lock nuts to specification after adjustment. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
