Rear Wheel Alignment: Adjustment

HINT:

(See CALIBRATION )

1. INSPECT REAR SUSPENSION 
   1. Inspect the rear suspension member.
      1. Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH and RH.

         Standard: 

         508.6 to 514.6 mm (20.02 to 20.25 in.) 

         If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear suspension member.

      2. Visually inspect the press holes on the installation area of the rear upper No. 2 control arm assembly.

         Standard: 

         The holes are not deformed. 

         If the holes are deformed, replace the rear suspension member

   2. Inspect the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
      1. Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.

         Standard: 

         433.4 to 434.4 mm (17.063 to 17.102 in.) 

         If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear No 2 suspension arm assembly

   3. Inspect the rear upper No. 2 control arm assembly
      1. Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolt of the rear upper No 2 control arm assembly and the ball joint stud

         Standard: 

         310.6 to 312.0 mm (12.2 to 12.3 in.) 

         If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear upper No 2 control arm assembly

   4. Inspect and adjust the toe-in and camber
      1. Inspect the toe-in and camber

         If the values are not within the specified ranges, adjust the installation bolt holding the rear suspension member to the vehicle body, or the bolt holding the upper control arm and rear suspension arm so that the values fall within the specified ranges

2. INSPECT TIRES  (See INSPECTION )
3. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT  (See FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT )
4. INSPECT TOE-IN 

   Toe-in 

   TOE-IN SPECIFICATION
   
   

   Toe-in (Total)
   B - A 3 +/- 2 mm (0 118 +/- 0.0787 in)

   If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace parts if necessary

5. ADJUST TOE-IN 
   1. Loosen the toe adjust cam nut
   2. Turn the adjust cams by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.

      HINT

      • Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value
      • The toe-in will change by the following amount corresponding to each graduation of the cam Approx 4 0 mm (0 16 in)

   3. Tighten the nut

      Torque: 50 N*m (510 kgf*cm, 37 ft.*lbf) 

6. INSPECT CAMBER 
   1. Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge or put the rear wheels on a wheel alignment tester
   2. Inspect the camber

   Camber 

   CAMBER SPECIFICATION
   
   

   Camber Angle
   -0°47' +/- 45' (- 0 78° +/- 0 75°)

   NOTE:

   • Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.
   • The maximum tolerance of right and left difference for the camber is 30' (0.5°) or less.

   If the measured value is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and wear Replace parts as necessary because camber cannot be properly adjusted with any damaged or worn parts.

7. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD 
8. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL 
   NOTE: Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.
9. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL 
   NOTE: When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (See INITIALIZATION ).
10. PERFORM YAW RATE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION 

    HINT.

    Perform yaw rate sensor zero point calibration (See CALIBRATION )

11. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION 

    HINT.

    Check steering angle sensor zero point calibration (See DTC C1290/66 STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ZERO POINT MALFUNCTION )
