Alignment: Service and Repair

REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
Measure wheel alignment with an alignment equipment on level ground. The rear suspension and wheels should be serviced to the normal condition prior to wheel alignment.

TOE-IN
Standard value: 3 ± 2 mm (0.12 ± 0.08 inch)
If toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust by following procedures.





1. Be sure to adjust the camber before making toe adjustment.
2. Carry out adjustment by turning the toe adjusting bolt (control link mounting bolt which is located on the inner side of the body).

NOTE:
^ LH: Clockwise viewed from the rear -] Toe-out
^ RH: Clockwise viewed from the rear -] Toe-in
^ Toe adjustment can be made at graduations of approximately 2.6 mm (0.10 inch).

CAMBER
Standard value: -0° 40' ± 30' (Difference between right and left within 30')

CAUTION: To prevent the wheel bearing from damage, never subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle load when the self-locking nuts are loosened.

If camber is not within the standard value, adjust by following procedures.
1. Disconnect the conjunction of the control link and the trailing arm.





2. Carry out adjustment by turning the camber adjusting bolt (lower arm mounting bolt which is located on the inner side of the body).

NOTE:
^ LH: Turning clockwise (+) camber
^ RH: Turning clockwise (-) camber
^ The scale has gradations of approximately 14'.





CAUTION: To prevent bushings from breakage, the connecting bolt should be temporarily tightened, and then fully tightened with the vehicle on the ground in the unladen condition.

3. Tighten the control link to the trailing arm.
4. After adjusting the camber, the toe should be adjusted.
