REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION

Note

For vehicles equipped with VSC, if 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 negative battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.

  2. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.


  1. INSPECT TIRES


    1. Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.

      Cold Tire Inflation Pressure
      Engine Type Tire Size Condition

      Front

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)

      Rear

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
      1KR-FE 155/65R14 75T Driving below 160 km/h (100mph) 220 (2.2, 32) 220 (2.2, 32)
      Driving over 160 km/h (100mph) 230 (2.3, 34) 230 (2.3, 34)
      2WZ-TV Driving below 160 km/h (100mph) 240 (2.4, 35) 220 (2.2, 32)
      Driving over 160 km/h (100mph) 240 (2.4, 35) 230 (2.3, 34)
    2. A0138ZIE01

      Using a dial indicator, check the tire runout.

      Tire runout
      1.4 mm (0.055 in.) or less

  2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

    A0136ALE01
    Vehicle height (unloaded vehicle)
    Engine Type A-B C-D
    1KR-FE 88 mm (3.46 in.) 22 mm (0.87 in.)
    2WZ-TV 89 mm (3.50 in.) 22 mm (0.87 in.)
    Measuring points
    A
    Ground clearance of front wheel center
    B
    Ground clearance of lower suspension arm front bolt center
    C
    Ground clearance of rear wheel center
    D
    Ground clearance of rear axle beam set bolt center

    Note

    Before inspecting the wheel alignment, inspect the vehicle height.

    Tech Tips

    Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension before inspecting the vehicle height.

  3. INSPECT TOE-IN

    A0137RSE02
    Toe-in (unloaded vehicle)
    A+B C-D

    0°09' to 0°39'

    (0.15° to 0.65°)

    1.4 mm to 5.8 mm

    (0.06 in. to 0.23 in.)

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

  4. INSPECT CAMBER


    1. Install the camber-caster-kingpin gauge and position the rear wheel on the alignment tester.

    2. Inspect the camber.

      Camber (unloaded vehicle)
      -1°26' to -0°26' (-1.43° to -0.43°)

      Note

      The tolerance for the difference between the left and right wheels is 30' (0.5°) or less for both cambers.

      If the camber is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.
