Thrust Angle

When adjusting, adjust it to the following value.

Thrust angle: Adjustment value 

0°00'±20'

Less than 20' when "L" is 15 mm (0.6 in) or less.

1. Make thrust angle adjustments by turning the adjusting bolts of the rear suspension equally in the same direction.
2. When one rear tire is adjusted in a toe-in direction, adjust the other rear tire equally in a toe-out direction, in order to make the thrust angle adjustment.
3. When the left and right adjusting bolts are turned by one graduation, the thrust angle will change approx. 15'. ("L" is approx. 11 mm (0.43 in).)
   NOTE: Thrust angle is a mean value of left and right 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: 

   γ = (α -β)/2

   α: Rear RH toe-in angle

   β: Rear LH toe-in angle

   Substitute only the positive toe-in values from each tire into a and β in the calculation  .
