Adjustment [09/2014 - 11/2017]: Procedure
- INSPECT TIRES
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1
- MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
See step 2
- INSPECT CAMBER NOTE:
Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.
- Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge.
*a Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge - Inspect the camber.
Camber (Unloaded Vehicle)
Camber Inclination Right-left Difference -1°32' +/- 0°45' (-1.53° +/- 0.75°) 0°45' (0.75°) or less HINT:
Camber is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear, and replace them if necessary.
- Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge.
- INSPECT TOE-IN NOTE:
Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.
- Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.
- Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N.
- Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step A)
- Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of the rear wheels and measure the distance between the marks (dimension B).
*a Tread Center Mark *b Dimension B Front of the Vehicle - Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the rear wheels to rotate 180°. Use the rear tire valve as a reference point.
HINT:
Do not allow the wheels to rotate more than 180°. If the wheels rotate more than 180°, perform the procedure from step A again.
- Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front of the rear wheels (dimension A).
*a Dimension A Front of the Vehicle Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)
Specified Condition C + D: 0°15' +/- 0°10' (0.25° +/- 0.17°) B - A: 3.0 +/- 2.0 mm (0.118 +/- 0.0787 in.) HINT:
Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured.
If the toe-in is not within the specified range, adjust it at the steering rack ends.
- ADJUST TOE-IN
- Measure the thread lengths of the right and left steering rack ends.
Standard Difference
1.5 mm (0.0591 in.) or less
- Remove the rear steering rack boot clips.
- Loosen the rear steering tie rod assembly lock nuts.
- Adjust the steering rack ends if the difference in thread length between the right and left steering rack ends is not within the specified range.
- If the toe-in measurement is greater than the specified range (too much toe-out), extend the shorter steering rack end so that the difference in length is within the specified range.
- If the toe-in measurement is less than the specified range (too much toe-in), shorten the longer steering rack end so that the difference in length is within the specified range.
- Measure the toe-in.
- Turn the right and left steering rack ends by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.
Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)
Specified Condition C + D: 0°15' +/- 0°10' (0.25° +/- 0.17°) B - A: 3.0 +/- 2.0 mm (0.118 +/- 0.0787 in.) HINT:
Perform adjustments so that the value is as close as possible to the median of the specified range.
- Tighten the rear steering tie rod assembly lock nuts.
Torque: 55 N.m (561 kgf/cm, 41 ft.lbf)
- Place the rear steering rack boots on the seats and install the rear steering rack boot clips.
- Measure the thread lengths of the right and left steering rack ends.
- INSPECT REAR SUSPENSION
- Inspect the rear suspension member sub-assembly.
- Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH and RH.
Standard
496.5 to 503.5 mm (1.63 to 1.65 ft.)
If the distance is not as specified, replace the rear suspension member sub-assembly.
HINT:
Refer to the instructions for removal and installation of the rear suspension member sub-assembly.
Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - 10/2015] , or refer to REMOVAL [10/2015 - 11/2017]
- Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH and RH.
- Inspect the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
- Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
Standard
443.6 to 444.6 mm (1.456 to 1.458 ft.)
If the distance is not as specified, replace the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
HINT:
Refer to the instructions for removal and installation of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
Refer to REMOVAL [09/2014 - 10/2015] , or refer to REMOVAL [10/2015 - 01/2023]
- Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
- Inspect the rear No. 2 upper control arm assembly.
- Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 2 upper control arm assembly.
Standard
298.5 to 299.5 mm (11.76 to 11.79 in.)
If the distance is not as specified, replace the rear No. 2 upper control arm assembly.
HINT:
