Rear Suspension

Rear Wheel Alignment Inspection and Adjustment

Toe and Camber Inspection and Adjustment

Preparation for toe and camber inspection and adjustment.

- Place vehicle in non-loaded state on level floor.
- Set steering wheel in straight state.
- Check that inflation pressure of each tire is adjusted properly and disc wheel is free from deflection.
- Check that each suspension part is free from bend, dent, wear or damage in any other form.
- Check that ground clearance at the right and left is just about the same.

NOTE:

To prevent possible incorrect reading of toe, camber or caster, vehicle front and rear end must be moved up and down and forward and rearward a few times before inspection.

Inspection

Toe Inspection

Measure toe with toe-in gauge (1).

Toe should be within following specifications.

Toe
IN 6.0 ± 2.0 mm (0.2363 ± 0.0787 in.)

If toe is out of the specification, adjust toe properly.





Camber Inspection

Measure camber with camber tester.

Camber should be within following specifications.

Camber
-1° 15' ± 40'

If camber is out of the specification, adjust camber properly.

Adjustment

Control rod adjustment

1) Loosen right and left control rod mount nuts (1).





2) Adjust toe and camber to satisfy the specification by turning right and left control rod inner bolts (cam bolts) (1) with the same amount.

NOTE:
When bolt is turned a-direction, camber becomes "+" and toe becomes "IN". When bolt is turned b-direction, camber becomes "-" and toe becomes "OUT".









3) After adjustment, tighten right and left nuts to specified torque while holding cam bolt with another wrench to prevent it from turning.

Tightening torque
Control rod mount nut 128 Nm (13.1 kgf-m, 94.5 lbf-ft)

Lower arm adjustment

4) Loosen right and left lower arm mount nuts (1).





5) Adjust toe and camber to satisfy the specification by turning right and left lower arm inner bolts (cam bolts) (1) with same amount.

NOTE:
When bolt is turned a-direction, camber becomes "+" and toe becomes "OUT". When bolt is turned b-direction, camber becomes "-" and toe becomes "IN".









6) After adjustment, tighten right and left nuts to specified torque while holding cam bolt with another wrench to prevent it from turning.

Tightening torque
Lower arm mount nut 128 Nm (13.1 kgf-m, 94.5 lbf-ft)
