Rear Wheel Alignment
REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENTADJUSTMENT
1. INSPECT TIRES
2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
NOTICE:
Before inspecting wheel alignment, adjust vehicle height to the specified value.
3. INSPECT TOE-IN
Toe-in:
If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace if necessary.
4. ADJUST TOE-IN
(a) Loosen the toe adjust cam nut.
(b) Turn the adjust cams by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.
HINT:
^ Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
^ The toe-in will change by the following specifications corresponding to each graduation of the cam.
Approx. 4.0 mm (0.16 in.)
(c) Tighten the nut.
Torque: 50 N*m (510 kgf*cm, 37 ft.*lbf)
5. INSPECT CAMBER
(a) Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge or put the wheels on a wheel alignment tester.
(b) Inspect the camber.
CAMBER 2GR-FSE:
CAMBER 3UZ-FE:
If the measured value is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and wear. Replace parts as necessary because camber cannot be properly adjusted with any damaged or worn parts.
6. INSPECT REAR SUSPENSION
(a) Inspect the rear suspension member.
(1) Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolts of the rear suspension arm assembly No.2 LH and RH.
Standard: 536.8 to 543.7 mm (21.13 to 21.41 in.)
HINT:
If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear suspension member.
(2) Visually inspect the press holes on the installation area of the upper control arm assembly rear No.2.
Standard: The holes are not deformed.
HINT:
If the holes are deformed, replace the rear suspension member.
(b) Inspect the rear suspension arm assembly No.2.
(1) Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear suspension arm assembly No.2.
Standard: 433.5 to 434.5 mm (17.07 to 17.11 in.)
HINT:
If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear suspension arm assembly No.2.
(c) Inspect the upper control arm assembly rear No.2.
(1) Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolt of the upper control arm assembly rear No.2 and the ball joint stud.
Standard: 307.3 to 308.7 mm (12.10 to 12.15 in.)
HINT:
If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the upper control arm assembly rear No.2.
(d) Inspect and adjust toe-in and camber.
(1) Inspect toe-in and camber.
If the value are not within the specified range, adjust the installation bolt holding the rear suspension member to the vehicle body, or the bolt holding the upper control arm and rear suspension arm so that the values fall within the specified range.
