NOTE:
• Front and rear toe-ins and front camber can be
adjusted. If the toe-in or camber tolerance exceeds
specifications, adjust them.
• Other items indicated in the specification table
cannot be adjusted. If other items exceed specifica-
tions, check the suspension parts and connections
for deformation, and replace with new ones as re-
quired.
