Front Suspension (Tacoma, T100 & 4Runner)

1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation. Inspect front wheel bearings for looseness. Check wheel runout. Wheel runout should not exceed .118" (3.0 mm).
2. Inspect front suspension components for looseness. Ensure front shock absorbers work properly. Measure vehicle riding height. See RIDING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT .
3. Measure camber of both front wheels. If camber is not within specification, add or remove shims on upper suspension arms on 2WD models. On 4WD models, loosen and rotate adjuster cams. See ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS . See Fig 1.
