Rear Alignment

1. Position the vehicle on an alignment rack.
2. Perform a pre-wheel alignment inspection.
3. Install all required alignment equipment on the vehicle, per the alignment equipment manufacturer's instructions.

NOTE: Prior to reading the vehicle's alignment readouts, the front and rear of vehicle should be jounced. Induce jounce (rear first, then front) by grasping the center of the bumper and jouncing each end of vehicle an equal number of times. The bumper should always be released when vehicle is at the bottom of the jounce cycle.

4. Read the vehicle's current front and rear alignment settings. Compare the vehicle's current alignment settings to the vehicle specifications for camber, caster and toe-in.
5. If the rear alignment is out of specification, adjust it first, before proceeding to the front. Rear camber and caster are not adjustable. If rear camber is out of specification, check for damaged or bent rear suspension components.

REAR WHEEL TOE ADJUSTMENT

Rear Wheel Toe Adjustment:

1. Loosen lateral link, adjustment link jam nuts. Rotate adjustment links as required to set rear wheel Toe to specifications. Do not exceed the maximum length dimensions of the lateral links shown. Both dimensions must be checked to ensure they do not exceed maximums allowed.

Lateral Link Maximum Length Dimensions:

CAUTION: When setting rear toe-in on vehicle, the maximum lengths of the adjustable lateral link at the locations shown must not be exceeded. If these maximum lengths are exceeded, inadequate retention of adjustment link to the inner and outer link may result. Ensure that the adjustment sleeve jam nuts are torqued to the required specifications when the Toe setting procedure is completed.

2. Tighten lateral link, adjustment link lock-nuts to 88 Nm (65 ft. lbs.) torque.
3. Proceed to set the front wheel alignment. If front camber and caster readings are within required specifications, proceed to Front Wheel Toe Adjustment. If not, refer to the following procedure to correct camber.

CAMBER AND CASTER
Front wheel Camber and Caster settings on this vehicle are determined at the time the vehicle is designed. This is done by determining the precise mounting location of the vehicle's suspension components throughout the design and assembly processes of the vehicle. This is called a Net-Build vehicle and results in no normal requirement for adjustment of the Camber and Caster after a vehicle is built, or when servicing the suspension components. Thus, Camber and Caster are not normally considered an adjustable specification when performing an alignment on this vehicle. Though Camber and Caster are not adjustable, they should be checked during the alignment procedure to ensure they meet the manufacturers specifications.
If camber and caster do not meet required specifications, the vehicles suspension components should be inspected for any signs of damage or bending. This inspection must be done before performing the camber setting procedure.
If a vehicle has a drift or lead condition, and it is determined that the drift or lead is not caused by road conditions, the front camber can be adjusted using the following camber adjustment procedure.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the vehicles Caster or Camber by heating, bending or by performing any other modification to the vehicle's front suspension components.
