Rear Wheel Alignment

Rear Wheel Alignment Camber & Toe-In

Camber and toe values are designed into the rear suspension geometry and are not normally adjustable. However, eccentric trailing arm blocks are available on most models to modestly compensate for slight camber or toe deviations. If camber or toe-in values deviate radically from specification, check for the following conditions:

1. Damaged rear axle carrier mounts or carrier.
2. Damaged trailing arm blocks or trailing arm.
3. Damaged final drive mount.
4. Excessive suspension sag. Replace coil springs and recheck alignment.
5. Damaged floor assembly. Check and repair body if necessary, then recheck alignment.
