Before checking wheel alignment, be sure to make a preliminary inspection.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

Make the following checks. Adjust, repair or replace as necessary.

^ Check rear axle and rear suspension parts for excessive play.
^ Check vehicle posture (Unladen). I.e. fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil are full and spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats in designated positions.



CAMBER








^ Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and adjust in accordance with the following procedures.

Camber: Refer to specification table.

^ If camber is not within specification, adjust by turning the adjusting bolt as follows:





(1) Turn the adjusting bolt.

NOTE: Camber changes about 4' with each graduation of the adjusting bolt.

(2) Tighten to 69 - 88 Nm (51 - 65 ft. lbs.)

TOE IN

Measure toe-in using the following procedure. If out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts.

1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft.).

4. Measure distance "A" (rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180° (1/2 turn).

NOTE: If the wheels have rotated more than 180° (1/2 turn), try the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push vehicle backward.

6. Measure distance "B" (front side).

Total toe-in: Refer to specification table.





7. Loosen adjusting bolt fixing nuts.
8. Adjust toe-in by turning adjusting bolts.
