Rear Wheel Alignment: Adjustment

INSPECT TIRE
1. Inspect the tires (see INSPECTION ).
MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
1. Measure the vehicle height for coil suspension (see ADJUSTMENT ).
2. Measure the vehicle height for air suspension (see ADJUSTMENT ).
INSPECT TOE-IN
Standard toe-in: B - A 3 +1-2 mm (0.12 +/-0.08 in.)

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

ADJUST TOE-IN
1. Loosen the toe adjust cam nut.
2. Turn the adjust cams by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.
  HINT:
  - Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
  - The toe-in will change by the following specification corresponding to each graduation of the cam:
  Approximately: 4.8 mm (0.188 in.)
3. Tighten the nut.
  Torque: 60 N*m (612 kgf*cm, 44 ft.*lbf)

INSPECT CAMBER

Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge or put the wheels on a wheel alignment tester.

Inspect the camber.

Standard camber inclination (unloaded vehicle)

CAMBER INCLINATION CHART

Item	Camber Inclination
w/o Air Suspension	Camber Left-right error	-1°38' +/-45' (-1.63° +/- 0.75°) 30' (0.50°) or less
w/ Air Suspension	Camber Left-right error	-1°50' +/-45' (-1.83° +/- 0.75°) 30' (0.50°) 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.

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 length: 588.0 mm (23.150 in.)
    
    HINT:
    
    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 length: The holes are not deformed.
    
    HINT:
    
    If the holes are deformed, replace the rear suspension member.
2. Inspect the rear No. 1 suspension arm.
  1. Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 1 suspension arm.
    Standard length: 361.3 to 362.1 mm (14.224 to 14.256 in.)
    
    HINT:
    
    If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear No. 1 suspension arm.

3. Inspect the rear No. 2 suspension arm.
  1. Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm.
    Standard length: 426.8 to 427.6 mm (16.803 to 16.835 in.)
    
    HINT:
    
    If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear No. 2 suspension arm.

4. Inspect the rear upper No. 1 control arm.
  1. Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolt of the rear upper No. 1 control arm and the ball joint stud.
    Standard length: 208.5 to 209.3 mm (8.209 to 8.240 in.)
    
    HINT:
    
    If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear upper No. 1 control arm.

5. Inspect the rear upper No. 2 control arm.
  1. Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolt of the rear upper No. 2 control arm and the ball joint stud.
    Standard length: 329.2 to 330.0 mm (12.961 to 12.992 in.)
    
    HINT:
    
    If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear upper No. 2 control arm.

6. Inspect the toe control link.
  1. Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolt of the toe control link and the ball joint stud.
    Standard length: 472.6 to 473.6 mm (18.606 to 18.646 in.)
    
    HINT:
    
    If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the toe control link.
