Adjustment

When adjusting, adjust it to the following value.

Thrust angle:

0°+/-20' Less than 20' when "L" is less than 15 mm (0.6 in).

Make the thrust angle adjustments by turning the toe-in adjusting bolts of rear suspension equally in the same direction.
When one rear wheel is adjusted in a toe-in direction, adjust the other rear wheel equally in toe-out direction, in order to make the thrust angle adjustment.
When the left and right adjusting bolts are turned by one graduation, the thrust angle will change approx. 17' ("L" is approx. 13 mm (0.51 in).

NOTE: Thrust angle refers to a mean value of left and right rear wheel toe angles in relation to the vehicle body center line. Vehicle is driven straight in the thrust angle direction while slanting in the oblique direction depending on the degree of the mean thrust angle.

Thrust angle: r = (a - B)/2

a: Rear RH wheel toe-in angle

B: Rear LH wheel toe-in angle

Use only positive toe-in values from each wheel to substitute for (a) and (B) in the equation.
