Front Wheel Alignment Check And Adjustment
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Perform a calibration for the ASC-ECU to learn the steering wheel sensor neutral point (Refer to
STEERING WHEEL SENSOR CALIBRATION
).
- Before the wheel alignment measurement, maintain the front suspension, the steering system and the wheel tires in good condition.
- Park the vehicle on a level surface, and position the front wheel in the straight-ahead position to measure the wheel alignment.
TOE-IN
Standard value:
At the center of tire tread: 1 ± 2 mm (0.04 ± 0.08 inch)
Toe-angle (per wheel): 0°02' ± 0°04'
- Loosen the lock nut with tie-rod bellows clip removed, and then perform the adjustment by turning the tie-rod left/right at the same degree in the opposite direction.NOTE: The toe moves to the outside by turning the tie-rod: left to the forward direction, and right to the reverse direction.
- After adjustment, check that the steering angle is within the standard range using the turning radial gauge (STEERING ANGLE CHECK ).
