Rear Wheel Alignment

INSPECTION
1. Measure rear vehicle height.
2. Install camber-caster-kingpin gauge or onto wheel alignment tester.
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
3. Inspect camber.
Camber: -1°05' ± 45' (-1.08 ± 0.75°)
Left-right error: 30' (0.5°) or less.


Measuring Point Reference:





4. Inspect toe-in.
Toe-in (total):
A + B: 0°29' (0°12' - 0°34').
C - D: 5 mm (2 mm - 6 mm) [0.20 inch (0.08 - 0.24 inch)]
.
5. Adjust camber and toe-in.

Left:




Right:





a. Measure the length of the No. 1 and No. 2 lower suspension arm, as shown in the illustration.
Length:
(E - F) or (F - E) should be less 4.0 mm (0.157 inch).
If not, adjust the length of the arms by turning the adjusting cam, as shown, until (E - F) or (F - E) is less than 4.0 mm (0.157 inch).
b. Measure the camber and toe-in.
If the camber and toe-in are still not within the specification, adjust the camber and toe-in with the adjusting cam.

Adjustment Chart
1. How to read adjustment chart.

Rear Wheel Alignment:





a) Mark on the graph the measurements taken from the vehicle.
Example:
Camber (LH): -1°20' (-1.33°)
Camber (RH): -0°35' (-0.58°)
Toe-in: 13 mm (0.51 inch)
.




Rear Wheel Alignment / Adjustment Chart:





b) As shown in the illustration, read from the graph the amounts by which the front and/or rear cams are to be adjusted.
Amount to turn adjusting cam (by graduation):
LH Front cam: Decrease 0.3 (Shorter)
LH Rear cam: Increase 1.7 (Longer)
RH Front cam: Increase 2.8 (Longer)
RH Rear cam: Increase 1.3 (Longer)


NOTE: Try to adjust the camber and toe-in to the center value.

e. Torque the No. 1 and/or No. 2 cam nuts.
Torque: 184 Nm (136 ft. lbs.).
