Rear Wheel Alignment: Inspection

  1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT (See  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: 

    CAMBER SPECIFICATION

    Camber Right-left error -0 ° 43' (+/-) 45' (-0.72 ° (+/-) 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: 

    TOE-IN SPECIFICATION

    Toe-in A+B:0 ° 24' (+/-) 12'(0.4 ° (+/-) 0.2 ° )
    (total) 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.

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

    2. Loosen the lock nuts.
    3. Turn the right and left adjusting tube by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

      HINT:

      • 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)
