ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Before the wheel alignment measurement, adjust the rear suspension, wheel, and tires in good condition.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface to measure the wheel alignment.

TOE-IN
Standard value: 3 ± 2 mm (0.12 ± 0.08 inch)
If it is out of the standard range, adjust as follows:





Turn the toe adjusting bolt (the mounting bolt inside the body on the control link) to adjust.

Left wheels: Clockwise -] (+) Toe in
Right wheels: Clockwise -] (-) Toe in

Toe-in varies approximately 2.6 mm (0.10 inch) (equivalent to 0°16' of the toe angle for one side) for each scale mark.

CAMBER
Standard value: -0°25' ± 0°30' (difference between right and left within 0°30')

NOTE:





^ For FWD vehicles with aluminum wheels, attach the camber/caster/kingpin gauge by using a compensator.





^ For AWD vehicles with aluminum wheels, tighten the wheel alignment gauge attachment (Special tool: MB991004) to the specified torque, then measure the camber.
^ The camber is pre-adjusted at factory and is not adjustable.
