Wheel Alignment
DESCRIPTION
^ Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. "Unladen conditions" means that fuel, coolant, and lubricant are full. However, spare tire, jack, and hand tools should be unloaded.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
1. Check the tires for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Check road wheels for runout.
3. Check wheel bearing axial end play.
4. Check shock absorber operation.
5. Check each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
6. Check each link and arm for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
7. Check the vehicle posture.

CAMBER INSPECTION





^ Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and adjust in accordance with the following procedures.

REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
If camber is not within specification, adjust by turning the adjusting bolt.





1. Turn the adjusting bolt to calibrate.
Camber changes about 5' with each graduation of the adjusting bolt.
2. Tighten to the specified torque.
65 - 80 Nm (6.7 - 8.1 kgf-m, 48 - 59 ft. lbs.)

TOE-IN
Measure toe-in using following procedure. If out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts.

WARNING:
^ Always perform following procedure on a flat surface.
^ Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before pushing it.

1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 meters (16 ft.).




3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at the same height of hub center. This mark is a measuring point.
4. Measure distance "A" (rear side).





5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance "B" (front side).





7. Adjust toe-in by turning adjusting bolts.
Toe changes about 1.5 mm (0.059 inch) [One side] with each graduation of the adjusting bolt.

CAUTION: Be sure to adjust equally on RH and LH side with adjusting bolt.

8. Tighten to the specified torque.
65 - 80 Nm (6.7 - 8.1 kgf-m, 48 - 59 ft. lbs.)
