Alignment Specs???

Prado SX5 LJ78 Alignment Specs???

Perhaps this could be a sticky thread...
I am having a very difficult time finding alignment specs

These are the ones i got from a local dealer, could some one verify them?

Toe in 1mm
Camber 1deg @ 00
Caster 4deg @ 00 OR 4deg @ 45
king pin 12 deg @ 00


these are translated from Japanese, so Kingping what is that?

 

[Radd Cruisers]

King pin inclination angle - not adjustable.
Camber - not adustable (though in some places you can get off-set bearings to make minor corrections).
Caster - can be adjusted by shims.

4 deg positive caster, .8 to 1 deg positive camber and -1/32 toe in (so as you drive the tires like to pull outwards making o toe). As Radd said camber can be slightly adjusted (costly), toe is adjustable and caster is only adjustable by offset control arm bushings, reposition plates, lowering control arms, cutting rotating and re welding ball socket on axle end ect. Not shims.

Take care

Here is a page from a factory manual for the 70 series....

When you say Toe in 1 mm, how is that measured?
If measured on the tires or the rim, it would be different depending on the size of these.
An angular measurement would be more general, or?

Reviving a thread from the depths of Mud...

How the hell do I read this chart (post #4 above) for toe in?!

My tire size is "others" so what do "-1 +/- 2 mm inspection STD" and "-1 +/- 1 mm adjustment STD" mean? I've read about people adjusting their own toe in but how do you measure such small differences? And if it's -1 +/- 2 does that mean a range of 1 to -3 mm is acceptable? Sorry for the newb question, just replaced relay rod, drag link and ends and need to get my toe in back within spec.

Thanks
