Rear Wheel Alignment
SUSPENSION: REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT: ADJUSTMENT
1. INSPECT TIRE
(a) Inspect the tires Component Tests and General Diagnostics.
2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT Front Wheel Alignment
3. INSPECT TOE-IN
Standard toe-in:
B - A: 3 +/-2 mm (0.118 +/-0.0787 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 the toe-in.
HINT
* Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
* The toe-in will change by the following specification corresponding to each graduation of the cam:
Toe-in variation per cam graduation:
4.8 mm (0.189 in.)
(c) Tighten the nut.
Torque : 60 Nm (612 kgf-cm, 44 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 inclination (unloaded vehicle):
-1°45' +/-45' (-1.75° +/-0.75°)
* If the measured value is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and wear. Replace parts as necessary because the 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 No. 2 suspension arm LH and RH.
Standard length:
* If the distance is not as specified, replace the rear suspension member sub-assembly.
(2) Visually inspect the press holes on the installation area of the rear upper No. 2 control arm.
Standard length:
The holes are not deformed.
* If the holes are deformed, replace the rear suspension member.
(b) Inspect the rear No. 1 suspension arm.
(1) Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolt of the rear No. 1 suspension arm and the ball joint stud.
Standard length:
361.3 to 362.1 mm (14.22 to 14.26 in.)
* If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly.
(c) 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:
426.8 to 427.6 mm (16.80 to 16.83 in.)
* If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
(d) Inspect the rear upper No. 1 control arm.
(1) Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolt of the rear upper No. 1 control arm and the ball joint stud.
Standard length:
208.5 to 209.3 mm (8.21 to 8.24 in.)
* If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear upper No. 1 control arm assembly.
(e) 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:
329.2 to 330.0 mm (12.96 to 12.99 in.)
* If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear upper No. 2 control arm assembly.
(f) Inspect the toe control link.
(1) Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolt of the toe control link and the ball joint stud.
Standard length:
472.6 to 473.6 mm (18.61 to 18.65 in.)
* If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the toe control link.
(g) Inspect and adjust toe-in and camber.
(1) Inspect the standard toe-in and standard camber inclination (unloaded vehicle).
* 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.
7. REPLACE REAR SUSPENSION ARM ATTACHMENT SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) When rear suspension member is not replaced:
(1) Use the same stamping No. as the parts that were removed from the left and right side of the vehicle (see the table below).
(b) When rear suspension member is replaced:
(1) Use stamping No. 1 for the parts that were removed from the left and right side of the vehicle (see table below).
Part No. information:
8. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
(a) Remove the luggage compartment mat Removal.
(b) Remove the battery service hole cover Removal.
(c) Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal Removal.
NOTICE:
Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal for 2 seconds or more.
9. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
(a) Connect the cable to the negative battery terminal Installation.
(b) Install the battery service hole cover LH Installation.
(c) Install the luggage compartment mat Installation.
10. PERFORM YAW RATE AND DECELERATION SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION
(a) Perform the yaw rate and deceleration sensor zero point calibration Calibration.
11. INITIALIZE ROTATION ANGLE SENSOR AND CALIBRATE TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT
(a) Initialize the rotation angle sensor and calibrate torque sensor zero point Power Steering System.
12. PERFORM INITIALIZATION
(a) Perform the initialization Repair Instruction - Initialization.
