Rear Wheel Alignment
- Measure vehicle height (see step MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT ) .
- Install camber/caster/kingpin gauge or position vehicle on wheel alignment tester
.
- Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
- Inspect camber
.
- Camber:
If the camber is not within the specified value, after the toe-in is inspected, see step 5 to adjust.
- Camber:
- Inspect toe-in
.
- Toe-in:
If the toe-in is not within the specified value, see step 5 to adjust.
- Toe-in:
- Adjust camber and toe-in
.
- Measure the distance from the LH lower suspension arm bracket set bolt to the RH axle carrier rear side set bolt as shown in Fig 4.
- Employ the same manner to the RH-LH.
- Length difference: 6 mm or less
If it exceeds the specified value, adjust it by turning the adjusting cams.
- Length difference: 6 mm or less
- Loosen the upper and lower arm adjusting cam set nuts.
- Adjust the camber and toe-in by turning the adjusting cams.NOTE: Try to adjust the camber and toe-in to the center of the specified values.
- Torque the upper and lower arm adjusting cam set nuts.
- Torque: 74 N.m (755 kgf.cm, 55 ft.lbf)
- How to read adjustment chart (example)
.
- Measure the present alignment.
- Example:
Camber (RH): -0+/-26' (-0.43°)
Camber (LH): -1+/-56' (-1.93°)
Toe-in (total): IN 7 mm (0.28 in.)
- Example:
- Mark the difference between the standard value (A) and the measured value (B) on the adjustment chart in Fig 6.
- Standard value:
Camber:-1°11'(-1.18°)
Toe-in (total): IN 3mm (0.12 in.)
Formula: A-B = C
Camber (RH): -1°11'- (-0°26')= -0°45'
Camber (LH): -1°11' -(-1°56')= 0°45'
Toe-in (total): IN3 - IN7 = OUT 4
Toe-in (each side): OUT 2
- Standard value:
- As shown in the example chart in Fig 6, read the distance from the marked point to the origin of the chart, and adjust the upper and/or lower arm adjusting cams accordingly.
- Amount to turn adjusting cams (by graduation):
Upper arm cam (RH): + (Inward) 3.2
Lower arm cam (RH): + (Inward) 0.8
Upper arm cam (LH): - (Outward) 2.3
Lower arm cam (LH): + (Inward) 1.0
