Rear Wheel Alignment: Inspection

  1. Measure Vehicle Height (See MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT Under  INSPECTION  ) 
  2. Install Camber-Caster-Kingpin Gauge Or Position Vehicle On Wheel Alignment Tester 

    Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.

  3. Inspect Camber 

    Camber Right-left Error: 

    • -0°43' +/- 45' (-0.72° +/- 0.75°) 45' (0.75°) or less 

    If the measured value is not within the specified value, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear and replace them if necessary because camber is not adjustable.

  4. Inspect Toe-In

    Toe-in (Total): 

    1. A + B: 0°24' +/- 12' (0.4° +/- 0.2°) C - D: 4+/-2 mm (0.16 +/- 0.08 in.) 

    If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the No. 2 lower suspension arm.

  5. Adjust Toe-In 
    1. Measure the lengths of the right and left No. 2 lower suspension arms.

      No. 2 lower suspension arm length difference: 1 mm (0.04 in.) or less 

      If the right-left difference is greater than the specified value, adjust the length.

      NOTE:
      • Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
      • One turn of the each adjusting tube will adjust the toe-in by about 36' (0.6°, 6.7 mm, 0.264 in.).
    4. Torque the lock nuts.

      Torque: 56 N.m (570 kgf.cm, 41 ft.lbf)
