For more detailed information on performing an express test, please refer to the Express Caliber Operating Manual.
1. Roll the car onto the steering angle measuring gauge with its rear wheels. Place a stand of the same height under the front wheels so that the car is horizontal.
2. Install the express caliper vertically, with the arrow on the sticker pointing upward, as shown in the figure.
- Camber angle: -0°44'±45'
3. If the measurements are different from the standard, adjust using the adjusting bolts on the lower suspension arms.
Note: After adjusting the camber angle, check the toe angles.
Checking the toe angle
1. Place the express gauge on a flat surface using supports and move the level bubble to the "0" mark.
2. Move the gauge forward (in the direction of the arrow on the sticker) on the wheel being tested.
3. Loosen 1 wheel nut on the front wheel closest to the center line and install the adapter onto the hub stud.
4. Install the connecting rod to the vehicle.
Note: Adjust distances A and B so that the connecting rod is parallel to the vehicle.
5. Remove the express gauge from the vehicle, take measurements on a flat surface and convert the obtained value using the following formula.
Sin([obtained value]*[decimal number]) x tire diameter(mm)= toe(mm)
*: The obtained value is the total for the left and right wheels.

Calculation example:
The obtained value is 0°30' (0.5°) with a diameter of 600 mm
Sin 0.5x600=5.2 mm
Toe-in: internal 4-0 mm
6. If the measurements are different from the standard, make adjustments using the adjusting bolts on the trailing arms.
Note: Adjust the toe-in of the right and left wheels by turning the adjusting bolts the same number of turns.
