Rear Wheel Alignment
INSPECTION1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
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
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 below).
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)
