Rear Wheel Alignment

SUSPENSION: REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT: ADJUSTMENT

NOTICE:
If the wheel alignment has been adjusted, and if suspension or underbody components have been removed/installed or replaced, be sure to perform the following initialization procedure in order for the system to function normally:

(a) Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.
(b) Reconnect the cable to the negative battery terminal.
(c) Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor and test mode inspection.

1. INSPECT TIRES

(a) Inspect the tires Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT Front Wheel Alignment

3. INSPECT TOE-IN





Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle):





If toe-in is not within the specified range, adjust it at the rear No. 2 suspension arms.

HINT
Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured.

4. ADJUST TOE-IN (for 2WD)

(a) Measure the lengths of the right and left rear No. 2 suspension arms.





Standard difference:

1.5 mm (0.06 in.) or less

If the left-right difference is larger than 1.5 mm (0.06 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.

(b) Loosen the 2 lock nuts.





(c) If the length difference between the left and right rear No. 2 suspension arm assemblies is not within the specified range, adjust it by following the procedures below.

HINT
* Try to adjust toe-in to the center of the specified range.
* One turn of each adjusting tube will adjust toe-in by approximately 11.1 mm (0.44 in.).

(1) If the toe-in measurement is greater than the specified range, extend the shorter rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly by rotating the adjusting tube in the direction of arrow B in the illustration.

(2) If the toe-in measurement is less than the specified range, shorten the longer rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly by rotating the adjusting tube in the direction of arrow A in the illustration.

(3) Measure the toe-in.

(d) Turn the right and left adjusting tubes by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

(e) Tighten the 2 lock nuts.

Torque : 56 Nm (571 kgf-cm, 41 ft-lbf)

5. ADJUST TOE-IN (for 4WD)

(a) Measure the distance between each wheel disc and the center of the toe-adjusting cam, and then confirm that left and right distances are the same.





Difference in the length of rear No. 2 suspension arms:

1.0 mm (0.04 in.) or less

If the left-right difference is larger than 1.0 mm (0.04 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.

(b) Loosen the toe-adjust cam set nuts.

(c) Turn the adjust cams by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

HINT
* Try to adjust toe-in to the center of the specified range.
* The toe-in will change by the following amount corresponding to each graduation of the cam.
Approx. 3.3 mm (0.13 in.)

(d) Tighten the toe-adjust cam set nuts.

Torque : 100 Nm (1019 kgf-cm, 74 ft-lbf)

6. INSPECT CAMBER

Camber (Unloaded Vehicle):





HINT
Camber is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear, and replace them if necessary.

7. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD

8. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

NOTICE:
Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.

9. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

NOTICE:
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Repair Instruction - Initialization.

10. PERFORM YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

HINT
Perform yaw rate sensor zero point calibration Programming and Relearning.

11. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

HINT
Check steering angle sensor zero point calibration C1290.
