SUSPENSION: REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT: ADJUSTMENT

ADJUSTMENT

1. INSPECT TIRES Component Tests and General Diagnostics

2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT Front

3. INSPECT TOE-IN






(a) Bounce the vehicle at the corners up and down to stabilize the suspension and inspect vehicle height.
Toe-in:





If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.
4. ADJUST TOE-IN (for 2WD)






(a) 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.






(b) Loosen the lock nuts.
(c) 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.).

(d) Tighten the lock nuts.
Torque: 56 Nm (571 kgf-cm, 41 ft-lbf)
5. ADJUST TOE-IN (for 4WD)






(a) 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.
(b) Loosen the toe-adjust cam set nuts.
(c) 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.)

(d) Tighten the toe-adjust cam set nuts.
Torque: 100 Nm (1,020 kgf-cm, 74 ft-lbf)
6. INSPECT CAMBER





HINT: 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.
