Rear Wheel Alignment: Adjustment
- INSPECT TIRES (See INSPECTION )
- MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT (See ADJUSTMENT )
- INSPECT TOE-IN
- Bounce the vehicle at the corners up and down to stabilize the suspension and inspect toe-in.
Toe-in
TOE-IN REFERENCE CHARTToe-in (total) - A + B: 0°18' +- 12' (0.3° +- 0.2°) C - D: 3 +- 2 mm (0.12 +- 0.08 in.) If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.
- Bounce the vehicle at the corners up and down to stabilize the suspension and inspect toe-in.
- ADJUST TOE-IN (for 2WD)
- Measure the lengths of the right and left rear suspension arms No.2.
Difference in the length of rear suspension arm No.2: 1.5 mm (0.06 in.) or less
If the left-right difference is larger than 1.5 mm (0.06 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.
- Loosen the lock nuts.
- Turn the right and left adjusting tubes by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.
HINT:
- Try to adjust toe-in to the center of the specified range.
- One turn of each adjusting tube will adjust toe-in by approximately 11.1 mm (0.437 in.).
- Tighten the lock nuts.
Torque: 56 N*m (571 kgf*cm, 41 ft.*lbf)
- Measure the lengths of the right and left rear suspension arms No.2.
- ADJUST TOE-IN (for 4WD)
- Measure the distance between each wheel disc and center of the toe-adjusting cam, and then confirm that left and right distances are the same.
Difference in the length of rear suspension arm No.2: 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) or less
If the left-right difference is larger than 1.0 mm (0.04 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.
- Loosen the toe-adjust cam set nuts.
- Turn the adjust cams by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.
HINT:
- Try to adjust toe-in to the center of the specified range.
- The toe-in will change by the following specifications corresponding to each graduation of the cam.
Approx. 3.3 mm (0.13 in.)
- Tighten the toe-adjust cam set nuts.
Torque: 100 N*m (1,020 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf)
- Measure the distance between each wheel disc and center of the toe-adjusting cam, and then confirm that left and right distances are the same.
- INSPECT CAMBER CAMBER SPECIFICATION
- 2WD 4WD Camber Right-left difference -1°10' +- 45' (-1.17° +- 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or less-0°40' +- 45' (-0.67° +- 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or lessHINT:
Camber is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within the specification, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear, and replace them if necessary.
