Rear Toe Adjustment

Rear Toe Adjustment

1. CAUTION: The cam nut and cam bolt area must be free of foreign material to make sure of correct clamping.

NOTE:
Clean the general area of the joint to prevent foreign material from entering the joint. Clean the area using only mild liquids.

NOTE: Jounce the vehicle to make sure that the suspension is in its normal, at-rest position.

Check the toe setting using suitable wheel alignment equipment.

2. NOTE: Do not remove the rear knuckle cam nut and wheel knuckle bolts. If removed, clean the serrations in the bushing sleeve with a wire brush and install a new wheel knuckle bolt and cam nut.

Loosen the LH and RH rear wheel knuckle bolts.





3. Turn the LH and RH adjusting cams simultaneously until the toe is within specification.





4. Tighten the LH and RH rear wheel knuckle bolts.
^ Using a suitable tool, hold the adjustment cam nut stationary while tightening the rear wheel knuckle bolt.
^ Tighten to 150 Nm (111 lb-ft).
