Rear Wheel Alignment
Before checking rear wheel alignment, be sure to make a preliminary inspection.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
- Check tires for wear and for improper inflation.
- Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
- Check rear wheel bearings for looseness.
- Check rear suspension for looseness.
- Check that rear shock absorber works properly.
- Check Ride Height (Unladen*).

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 Specifications.
- If camber is not within specification, adjust by turning the adjusting bolts in the same direction.








1. Turn the adjusting bolts in the same direction to calibrate.

NOTE: Camber changes about 5° with each graduation of the adjusting bolt.

2. Tighten to the specified torque.

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

WARNING:
- Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
- Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before pushing it.





1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at the same height of hub center. This mark is a measuring point.





4. Measure distance "A" (rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (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 Specifications.








7. Adjust toe-in by turning adjusting bolt.

NOTE: Toe changes about 1.5 mm (0.059 inch) [One side] with each graduation of the adjusting bolt.

8. Tighten to the specified torque. Refer to Specifications.
