Rear Wheel Alignment

SUSPENSION: REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT: ADJUSTMENT

ADJUSTMENT

1. INSPECT TIRE
(a) Inspect the tires Component Tests and General Diagnostics.
2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
(a) Measure the vehicle height Front Wheel Alignment.






3. INSPECT TOE-IN
Standard 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 Nm (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.
Standard camber:
-1°19' +-45' (-1.32° +-0.75°)
Right-left error: 30' (0.5°) or less
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 length:
536.8 to 543.7 mm (21.134 to 21.405 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 length:
The holes are not deformed.
HINT: If the holes are deformed, replace the rear suspension member.





(b) Inspect the rear No. 2 suspension arm.
(1) Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm.
Standard length:
433.5 to 434.5 mm (17.067 to 17.106 in.)
HINT: If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear No. 2 suspension arm.





(c) Inspect the rear upper No. 2 control arm.
(1) Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolt of the rear upper No. 2 control arm and the ball joint stud.
Standard length:
307.3 to 308.7 mm (12.098 to 12.154 in.)
HINT: If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear upper No. 2 control arm.

(d) Inspect and adjust toe-in and camber.
(1) Inspect toe-in and camber.
If the values 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.
