Rear Wheel Alignment
- Inspect tire (see INSPECT TIRE ) .
- Measure vehicle height (see MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT )
.NOTE: Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.
- Inspect toe-in
.
- Toe-in:
If the toe-in is not within the specified value, inspect and replace the suspension parts as necessary.
- Toe-in:
- Adjust toe-in (2WD drive type)
.
- Measure the lengths of the right and left No. 2 lower suspension arms.
No. 2 lower suspension arm length difference: 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) or less
If the left-right difference is larger than 1.0 mm (0.04 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.
- Loosen the lock nuts.
- Turn the right and left adjusting tube by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.NOTE:
- Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
- One turn of the each adjusting tube will adjust the toe-in by about 67' (1°11', 11.1 mm, 0.437 in.).
- Torque the lock nut.
- Torque: 56 N.m (570 kgf.cm, 41 ft.lbf)
- Measure the lengths of the right and left No. 2 lower suspension arms.
- Adjust toe-in (4WD drive type)
.
- Measure the distance between each wheel disc and corner of the toe-adjusting cam then confirm that left and right distances are the same.
- No. 2 lower suspension arm length difference: 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) or less
If the left-right difference is larger than 1.0 mm (0.04 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.
- Turn the toe-adjusting cam by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.
NOTE:
- Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
- The toe-in will change by the following specifications corresponding to each graduation of the cam.
Approx. 3.3 mm (0.13 in.)
- Torque the lock bolt.
- Torque: 113 N.m (1,150 kgf.cm, 83 ft.lbf)
- Measure the distance between each wheel disc and corner of the toe-adjusting cam then confirm that left and right distances are the same.
- Inspect camber
.
- 4WD:
- 2WD:
NOTE: Camber is not adjustable, if the measurement is not within the specification, inspect the suspension parts for damaged and/or worn-out parts and replace them as necessary.
