REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT

Note

If the wheel alignment has been adjusted, and if suspension or underbody components have been removed/installed or replaced, be sure to perform the following initialization procedure in order for the system to function normally:


  1. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.

  2. Reconnect the cable to the negative battery terminal.

  3. Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor and test mode inspection.

  1. INSPECT TIRES


    1. Inspect the tires Click here.

  2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

    Note


    • Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.

    • Be sure to perform measurement on a level surface.

    • If it is necessary to go under the vehicle for measurement, confirm that the parking brake is applied and the vehicle is secured with chocks.


    1. Bounce on the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.

    2. A017DUSE01

      Measure the vehicle height.

      Measuring points
      A
      Ground clearance of front wheel center
      B
      Ground clearance of No. 1 lower suspension arm bushing set bolt center
      C
      Ground clearance of rear wheel center
      D
      Ground clearance of strut rod set bolt center
      Vehicle height
      Model Front A - B Rear C - D
      2WD 118.2 mm (4.65 in.) 34.9 mm (1.37 in.)
      4WD 118.3 mm (4.66 in.) 33.8 mm (1.33 in.)

  3. INSPECT TOE-IN

    A017DMAE09
    Toe-in
    Item Specified Condition

    Toe-in (2WD)

    (total)

    C + D: 0°10' +/- 0°12' (0.17° +/- 0.2°)

    B - A: 3.0 +/- 2.0 mm (0.12 +/- 0.08 in.)

    Toe-in (4WD)

    (total)

    C + D: 0°8' +/- 0°12' (0.14° +/- 0.2°)

    B - A: 3.0 +/- 2.0 mm (0.12 +/- 0.08 in.)

    If toe-in is not within the specified range, adjust it at the rear No. 2 suspension arms.

    Tech Tips

    Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured.

  4. ADJUST TOE-IN (for 2WD)


    1. A017F2O

      Measure the lengths of the right and left rear No. 2 suspension arms.

      Standard difference
      1.5 mm (0.06 in.) or less

      If the left-right difference is larger than 1.5 mm (0.06 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.

    2. A017DYTE01

      Loosen the 2 lock nuts.

    3. If the length difference between the left and right rear No. 2 suspension arm assemblies is not within the specified range, adjust it by following the procedures below.

      Tech Tips


      • Try to adjust toe-in to the center of the specified range.

      • One turn of each adjusting tube will adjust toe-in by approximately 11.1 mm (0.44 in.).


      1. If the toe-in measurement is greater than the specified range, extend the shorter rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly by rotating the adjusting tube in the direction of arrow B in the illustration.

      2. If the toe-in measurement is less than the specified range, shorten the longer rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly by rotating the adjusting tube in the direction of arrow A in the illustration.

      3. Measure the toe-in.

    4. Turn the right and left adjusting tubes by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

    5. Tighten the 2 lock nuts.

      Torque:
      56 N*m  { 571 kgf*cm, 41 ft.*lbf }

  5. ADJUST TOE-IN (for 4WD)


    1. A017FWU

      Measure the distance between each wheel disc and the center of the toe-adjusting cam, and then confirm that left and right distances are the same.

      Difference in the length of rear No. 2 suspension arms
      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.

    2. Loosen the toe-adjust cam set nuts.

    3. Turn the adjust cams by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

      Tech Tips


      • Try to adjust toe-in to the center of the specified range.

      • The toe-in will change by the following amount corresponding to each graduation of the cam.

        Approx. 3.3 mm (0.13 in.)

    4. Tighten the toe-adjust cam set nuts.

      Torque:
      100 N*m  { 1019 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf }

  6. INSPECT CAMBER

    - 2WD 4WD Right-left difference
    Camber -1°00' +/- 45' (-1.00° +/- 0.75°) -0°36' +/- 45' (-0.60° +/- 0.75°) 45' (0.75°) or less

    Tech Tips

    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.

  7. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD

  8. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

    Note

    When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.

    Tech Tips

    Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.

  9. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

    Note

    When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.
