Rear Wheel Alignment

1. Measure rear vehicle height.

NOTICE: Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specification.

2. Install camber-caster-kingpin gauge or onto wheel alignment tester. Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
3. Inspect camber.

Camber: -1°05' +/- 45' (-1.08 +/- 0.75°)
Left-right error: 30' (0.5°) or less.

Measuring Point Reference:





4. Inspect toe-in.

Toe-in (total):
A + B: 0°29' (0°12' to 0°34').
C - D: 5 mm (2 mm to 6 mm) [0.20 inch (0.08 - 0.24 inch)].

5. Adjust camber and toe-in, as follows:

Left:




Right:





a. Measure the length of the No.1 and No.2 lower suspension arm, as shown in the illustration.

Length:
(E - F) or (F - E) should be less 4.0 mm (0.157 inch).

If not, adjust the length of the arms by turning the adjusting cam, as shown, until (E - F) or (F - E) is less than 4.0 mm (0.157 inch).
b. Measure the camber and toe-in. If the camber and toe-in are still not within the specification, adjust the camber and toe-in with the adjusting cam.

Camber (RH): -0°35' (-0.58°).
Toe-in: 13 mm (0.51 inch).




Rear Wheel Alignment / Adjustment Chart:





B. As shown in the illustration, read from the graph the amounts by which the front and/or rear cams are to be adjusted.

Amount to turn adjusting cam (by graduation):
LH Front cam: Decrease 0.3 (Shorter)
LH Rear cam: Increase 1.7 (Longer)
RH Front cam: Increase 2.8 (Longer)
RH Rear cam: Increase 1.3 (Longer)

NOTE: Try to adjust the camber and toe-in to the center value.


e. Torque the No.1 and/or No.2 cam nuts.

Torque: 184 Nm (136 ft. lbs.).
