Alignment: Testing and Inspection

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:

- 1° 00'± 0°30' (Left/right deviation within 0°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.





1.
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.

Carry out camber adjustment by turning the assist link 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.

Carry out toe adjustment by turning the lower arm bolt.
