Rear

LATE 1986-88 SUPRA

Prior to checking and resetting rear wheel alignment, check tire pressure to ensure it is correct check wheel runout with a dial indicator. Wheel runout should not exceed .047 inch (1.2 mm). Measure front vehicle ride height and rear vehicle ride height. If front ride height is not 8.327 inches (211.5 mm) and/or rear ride height is not 9.016 inches (229 mm), try to level vehicle by shaking it down. If vehicle height is still not correct, check for bad springs and worn or loose suspension parts.

Camber Inspection

Measure camber angle with suitable wheel alignment gauge. Camber should be within -1 to +1/2 degrees with a right to left error of no more than 1/2 degree. If not within specification, inspect rear suspension for worn and damaged parts and replace as necessary.

Toe-In Inspection

1. Rock vehicle up and down to stabilize suspension.
2. Move vehicle forward approximately 16.54 ft. (5 m) with front wheel in straight ahead position on a level surface. If vehicle was backed up, move it forward the same distance.
3. Mark center of each rear tread and measure the distance between marks.
4. Roll vehicle forward until marks on rear sides of tires come to the front side. If tire rolls too far, repeat step 2.
5. Measure distance between marks on front of tires. Toe-in should be within specifications.
6. If not within specification, inspect rear suspension for worn and damaged parts and replace as necessary.

Camber & Toe-In, Adjust

1. Measure distance between drive shaft to side gear shaft flange and Nos. 1 and 2 lower suspension arms on one side and compare to measurements of other side. The measurements should be equal.
2. If measurements are not equal, turn adjusting cams as necessary until arm length s on either side are equal.
3. Measure camber and toe-in as outlined above. If measurements are not within specifications, adjust toe-in and camber with adjusting cams.
