  1. INSPECT TIRE


    1. Inspect the tires Click here.

  2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

    A01GZA0E01

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

      Standard vehicle height (unloaded)
      Item Front (A - B) Rear (C - D)
      except Sports Package 146 mm (5.75 in.) 83 mm (3.27 in.)
      Sports Package 156 mm (6.14 in.) 93 mm (3.66 in.)
      Measuring points
      A
      Ground clearance of front wheel center
      B
      Ground clearance of head center of bolt used to install the front No. 1 suspension lower arm to the front suspension member
      C
      Ground clearance of rear wheel center
      D
      Ground clearance of pit center of the attachment rear suspension arm

      Note


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

      • The standard value shown here is a value that is used for adjusting the wheel alignment and does not indicate the height of an actual vehicle.

      If the vehicle height is not as specified, adjust the height by pressing down on the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension.

  3. INSPECT TOE-IN

    *a Front of Vehicle
    Standard toe-in (unloaded vehicle)
    Item Standard toe-in

    Toe-in

    (total)

    A + B: 0°15' +/-10' (0.25°+/-0.16°)

    C - D: 3.0 +/-2.0 mm (0.12 +/-0.08 in.)

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

  4. ADJUST TOE-IN

    A01H0BU

    1. Loosen the toe adjust cam nut.

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

      Tech Tips


      • 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:

        Toe-in variation per cam graduation
        4.8 mm (0.189 in.)

    3. Tighten the nut.

      Torque:
      60 N*m  { 612 kgf*cm, 44 ft.*lbf }

  5. INSPECT CAMBER

    *1 Camber-Caster-Kingpin Gauge

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

    2. Inspect the camber.

      Standard camber inclination (unloaded vehicle)
      Item Camber Inclination
      except Sports Package

      Camber

      Left-right error

      -1°41' +/-45' (-1.68° +/- 0.75°)

      30' (0.50°) or less
      Sports Package

      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 the camber cannot be properly adjusted with any damaged or worn parts.

  6. INSPECT REAR SUSPENSION

    A01H1VQE01

    1. Inspect the rear suspension member.


      1. Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm LH and RH.

        Standard length
        Length A Length B
        635.0 mm (25.000 in.) 588.0 mm (23.150 in.)

        • If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear suspension member sub-assembly.

      2. Visually inspect the press holes on the installation area of the rear upper No. 2 control arm.

        Standard length
        The holes are not deformed.

        • If the holes are deformed, replace the rear suspension member.

    2. A01GYNA

      Inspect the rear No. 1 suspension arm.


      1. Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolt of the rear No. 1 suspension arm and the ball joint stud.

        Standard length
        361.3 to 362.1 mm (14.22 to 14.26 in.)

        • If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly.

    3. A01H04K

      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 (16.80 to 16.83 in.)

        • If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.

    4. A01H0UB

      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 (8.21 to 8.24 in.)

        • If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear upper No. 1 control arm assembly.

        Standard length
        472.6 to 473.6 mm (18.61 to 18.65 in.)

        • If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the toe control link.

    7. Inspect and adjust toe-in and camber.


      1. Inspect the standard toe-in and standard camber inclination (unloaded vehicle).


        • If the values are not within the specified range, adjust the installation bolt holding the rear suspension member to the vehicle body, or the bolt holding the upper control arm and rear suspension arm so that the values fall within the specified range.
