SUSPENSION
4. THRUST ANGLE
Inspection
1) Position vehicle on a level surface.
2) Move vehicle 3 to 4 meters directly forward .
3) Determine locus of both front and rear axles .
4) Measure difference "L" between locus on the axles.
(For reference)
Thrust angle is less than 20' when "L" is equal to or
less than 15 mm (0 .59 in) .

5. STEERING ANGLE
Inspection
1) Place vehicles on a turning radius gauge.
2) While depressing brake pedal, turn steering wheel
fully to the left and right. With steering wheel held at
each fully turned position, measure both the inner and
outer wheel steering angle .
Inner wheel
36 .2°+ 1 .5°
Steering angle
Outer wheel
~ 31 .6°± 1 .5°
Adjustment
Turn tie-rod to adjust steering angle of both inner and
outer wheels .
a. Check toe-in and -out .
b. Correct both if twisted.

Fig . 12
Adjustment
Make thrust angle adjustments for left and right rear
wheels by turning toe-in and -out adjustment bolts
equally in the same direction. (For reference)
When one rear wheel is adjusted in a toe-in direction,
adjust the other rear wheel equally in toe-out direction,
in order to make thrust angle adjustment .
When left and right adjustment bolts are turned
incrementally in the same direction, the thrust angle will
change approximately 10' ("L" is nearly equal to 7 .5 mm
(0 .295 in)] .
Standard thrust angle:
Less than ± 20'
