Adjustment (to 12/2010)

SUSPENSION: REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT: ADJUSTMENT

NOTICE:
For vehicles equipped with VSC, if the wheel alignment has been adjusted, and if suspension or underbody components have been removed/installed or replaced, be sure to perform the following initialization procedure in order for the system to function normally:

(a) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.
(b) Reconnect the cable to the negative battery terminal.
(c) Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor and test mode inspection.

1. INSPECT TIRE

(a) Inspect the tire Inspection (to 12/2010).

2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

(a) Measure the Vehicle height Adjustment (to 12/2010).

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

3. INSPECT TOE-IN

(a) Inspect the toe-in.

Toe-in:





HINT
* Measure "C - D" only when "A + B" cannot be measured.
* If toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.





4. ADJUST TOE-IN

(a) Measure the lengths of the right and left No. 2 suspension arms.

No. 2 suspension arm length difference:

1.5 mm (0.06 in.) or less

If the left-right difference is larger than 1.5 mm (0.06 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.





(b) Loosen the 2 lock nuts.





(c) Turn the right and left adjusting tubes by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

HINT
* Try to adjust toe-in to the center value.
* One turn of each adjusting tube will adjust toe-in by approximately 1.2°(1°12'), 10.8 mm (0.425 in.).

(d) Tighten the lock nuts while securing the adjusting tube in the order indicated below:

Torque : 56 Nm (571 kgf-cm, 41 ft-lbf)

(1) Tighten the outside lock nut.

(2) Tighten the inside lock nut.

(3) Retighten the outside lock nut.

5. INSPECT CAMBER





HINT
Camber is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within the specification, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear, and replace them if necessary.

6. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD

7. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

NOTICE:
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.

8. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

NOTICE:
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Repair Instruction - Initialization.

9. PERFORM YAW RATE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

HINT
Perform yaw rate sensor zero point calibration Calibration (to 12/2010).

10. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

HINT
Check steering angle sensor zero point calibration Vehicle Stability Control System (to 12/2010).
