REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

1. Before the wheel alignment measurement, adjust the rear suspension, wheel, and tires in good condition.

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface to measure the wheel alignment.

TOE-IN

Standard value: 3± 2 mm (0.12± 0.08 inch)


If it is out of the standard range, adjust as follows:





Turn the toe adjusting bolt (the mounting bolt inside the body on the control link) to adjust.
Left wheels: Clockwise-> (+) Toe in
Right wheels: Clockwise-> (-) Toe in
Toe-in varies approximately 2.6 mm (0.10 inch) (equivalent to 0°16' of the toe angle for one side) for each scale mark.

Standard value: -0°25'± 0°30' (difference between right and left wheels must be 0°30' or less)










NOTE:

- For FWD vehicles with aluminum wheels, attach the camber/caster/kingpin gauge by using a compensator.
- For AWD vehicles with aluminum wheels, tighten special tool MB991004 to the specified torque, then measure the camber.
- The camber is pre-adjusted at factory and is not adjustable.
