Rear Wheel Alignment

INSPECTION








1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

NOTICE: Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specification. If the vehicle height is not within the standard, try to adjust it by pushing down on or lifting the body.

2. INSTALL CAMBER-CASTER-KINGPIN GAUGE OR ONTO WHEEL ALIGNMENT TESTER.
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.





3. INSPECT CAMBER

Measuring Point Reference:

4. INSPECT TOE-IN. Toe-in (total)
5. ADJUST CAMBER AND TOE-IN





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.

Fig. 17 Rear Camber & Toe-in Adjustment:

c. Loosen and adjust the No.1 and/or No.2 cams.
d. Adjust camber and toe-in by turning the No.1 and/or No.2 cams (See adjustment chart).

HINT: 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 (1,880 kgf-cm, 136 ft. lbs.)

6. HOW TO READ ADJUSTMENT CHART
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)

b. As shown in the illustration, from the graph the amounts by which the front and/or rear cam are to be adjusted.

Amount to turn adjusting cam (by graduation):
LH Front cam decrease 0.3 (Shorter)
LH Rear cam decrease 1.7 (Shorter)
RH Front cam increase 2.8 (Longer)
RH Rear cam increase 1.3 (Longer)
