REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
Measure wheel alignment with an alignment equipment on level ground. The rear suspension and tires should be serviced to the normal condition prior to wheel alignment measurement.
CAMBER
Standard value: -0° 50'± 30' (Left/right deviation within 30')
NOTE: For vehicles with aluminum wheels, attach the camber/caster/kingpin gauge by using a compensator.
TOE-IN
Standard value: 3 ± 3 mm (0.12 ± 0.12 inch)
If camber and/or toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust by the following procedures.
CAUTION:
^ When adjusting the camber, tighten the lower arm assembly and the trailing arm assembly, not the toe control arm.
^ After adjusting the camber, be sure to adjust the toe.
1. Carry out camber adjustment by turning the camber adjusting bolt.
NOTE:
^ LH: Clockwise viewed from the rear camber
^ RH: Clockwise viewed from the rear camber
^ If either the camber or toe is adjusted, both should fluctuate. For the relationship between the two, refer to CAMBER AND TOE REFERENCE TABLE.
CAUTION: When adjusting the toe, tighten the toe control arm and the trailing arm assembly, not the lower arm assembly.
2. Carry out toe adjustment by turning the toe adjusting bolt.
NOTE:
^ LH: Clockwise viewed from the rear Toe-in
^ RH: Clockwise viewed from the rear Toe-out
^ If either the camber or toe is adjusted, both should fluctuate. For the relationship between the two, refer to CAMBER AND TOE REFERENCE TABLE.
