Before checking and adjusting, fulfill the following conditions.
- Park your car on a level surface.
- Unload the car (full fuel tank, spare wheel, jack and toolbox removed from vehicle).
- Release the car from the parking brake.
- While releasing the parking brake, depress the brake pedal with the pedal compressor (available for sale) so that the car does not move. To keep the brake lights off, remove the brake light fuse.
- For details on how to use the instruments, please refer to the respective instructions for the instruments.

Camber angle check
1. Remove the center cap.
2. Install the device for measuring the angle of camber and the angle of the longitudinal inclination of the axis of rotation on the end of the hub through the adapter (special tool).
3. Set the front wheels to a straight ahead position.
4. Read the camber reading by bringing the instrument level bubble to the center.
![](https://www.hondabook.ru/img/further/1033.jpg)
Camber angle:
Front wheels:
- 0°00'±1° (2WD models).
- 0°20'±1° (4WD models).
Rear wheels: -1°00'±1°
Limit difference between front and rear wheels: 1°
The camber angle is not adjustable. If the camber angles are not as specified, check whether the suspension components and bodywork are deformed.
Checking and adjusting the pitch angle of the steering axis
Examination
1. Remove the wheel center caps.
2. Carefully place the front wheels in the centers of the gauges to measure the angle of rotation of the wheels, and under the rear wheels, substitute stands of the same thickness as the gauges.
Attention:
- Do not run over the calipers as the calipers may fly out or break.
- Check the levelness of the car after installing it on the gauges.
3. Remove the fixing pins from the calibers and set the front wheels to the position corresponding to the rectilinear movement of the vehicle.
4. Install the device for measuring the angle of camber and the angle of the longitudinal inclination of the axis of rotation on the end of the hub through the adapter (special tool).
5. Turn the wheel on which the camber and caster gauge is mounted outward by 20°and bring the level bubble to the center.
6. Rotate the device regulator to bring the level bubble of the device to a division «0».
7. Return the front wheels to the straight ahead position and then turn 20°inwards. Bring the level bubble to the center and read the reading at the level of the camber and caster gauge.

Pitch Angle:
Standard values:
- 2WD models: 2°55'±1°
- 4WD models: 2°35'±1°
8. If the measured values are not correct, record these values and make adjustments.
If the measured caster angle values are outside±1°35' of the standard value, check the trailing arms or subframe for deformation.
Adjustment
Adjustment of the angle of the longitudinal inclination of the axis of rotation is carried out by selecting the number of shims. For adjustment it is necessary to disconnect the longitudinal draft.
1. Using a jack, raise the front of the car and install supports.
2. Disconnect the longitudinal rods (see below).
3. Select the number of shims so that the measured value of the angle of longitudinal inclination of the axis of rotation corresponds to the norm.
![](https://www.hondabook.ru/img/further/1035.jpg)
One or two shims are installed.
One puck (thickness 3.2mm) the angle changes to 35'.
If the self-locking nut (12 mm) does not completely screw onto the tie rod thread, check the tie rod and subframe for deformation.

Checking and adjusting toe check
Examination
1. To stabilize the suspension, move the car back and forth for approx. at 1m.
2. Set the height of the toe gauge bars to the height of the vehicle axle and place it behind the wheels.
3. Place marks on the centers of the treads at a height equal to the height of the vehicle axle, and use a toe gauge to measure the distance (A) between the centers of the left and right treads.
4. Slowly drive the vehicle straight ahead until the marks made in step 3 rotate 180°.
5. Measure the distance (b) between the centers of the left and right treads.
![]() | ![]() |
6. Calculate the amount of convergence as the difference in distances (A) And (b).
Standard convergence:
- Front wheel: 0±2mm
- Rear wheels: 2+2mm
Apply marks at the height of the vehicle axle.
When measuring the toe-in of the front wheels, set them to the positions corresponding to the rectilinear movement of the car.
Adjustment
If front wheel toe adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
Loosen the locknuts of the tie rod ends and adjust the toe by turning both ends of the steering rack.
![](https://www.hondabook.ru/img/further/1039.jpg)
Tighten locknuts after adjustment.
After completing the work, check if the covers of the rack tips are not twisted or come off. Correct if necessary.
If rear wheel toe adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
Loosen the locknut on the back of the control arm.
Adjust the toe with the adjusting cams by turning the adjusting bolt.
After adjustment, replace the self-locking nut with a new one and tighten it to the required torque, fixing the position of the adjusting bolt.

Checking and adjusting the angle of rotation of the front wheels
1. Carefully place the front wheels in the centers of the turntables of the gauges to measure the angle of rotation of the wheels, and place stands under the rear wheels of the same thickness as the gauges.
Check the levelness of the car after installing it on the gauges.
2. Remove the fixing pins from the calibers, turn the steering wheel left and right as far as it will go, and check the steering angles of the front wheels.
![](https://www.hondabook.ru/img/further/1041.jpg)
Standard steering angles of the front wheels:
By inner turning radius:
- 2WD models: 39°00'±2°
- 4WD models: 38°00'±2°
Outside turning radius: 31°00'
3. If the steering angles on the inside radius of the left and right turns are different or not correct, adjust by rotating the rack tips, and then check and adjust the toe (see above).
After completing the work, check if the covers of the rack tips are not twisted or come off. Correct if necessary.

Wheel slip check
1. Check wheel slip with a slip tester.
2. Determine the amount of wheel slip when the car moves forward by 1 m.
![](https://www.hondabook.ru/img/further/1043.jpg)
- Standard lateral wheel slip: 0±3mm
3. If the side slip of the wheels is different from the specified, check the angles of the front wheels.
