REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT


  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.

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


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

    2. Measure the vehicle height.

      A01EJVTE01
      Measurement points
      A
      Ground clearance of front wheel center
      B
      Ground clearance of No. 2 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 (Unloaded Vehicle)
      Model Front A - B Rear C - D
      2WD 116.4 mm (4.582 in.) 33.9 mm (1.335 in.)
      AWD 116.9 mm (4.602 in.) 30.8 mm (1.213 in.)

  3. INSPECT CAMBER

    Camber (Unloaded Vehicle)
    Model Camber Inclination Right-left Difference
    2WD -1°13' +/- 45' (-1.22° +/- 0.75°) 45' (0.75°) or less
    AWD -0°47' +/- 45' (-0.78° +/- 0.75°)

    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.

  4. INSPECT TOE-IN

    A01EKWJE09
    Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)
    Model Specified Condition Right-left Difference
    2WD C + D: 0°17' +/- 0°10' (0.28° +/- 0.16°) 30' (0.50°) or less
    B - A: 3.8 +/- 2.0 mm (0.150 +/- 0.0787 in.) -
    AWD C + D: 0°16' +/- 0°10' (0.27° +/- 0.16°) 30' (0.50°) or less
    B - A: 3.6 +/- 2.0 mm (0.142 +/- 0.0787 in.) -

    If the 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.

  5. ADJUST TOE-IN (for 2WD)


    1. A01EJB1

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

      Difference in the length of rear No. 2 suspension arms
      1.5 mm (0.0590 in.) or less

      If the left-right difference is larger than 1.5 mm (0.0590 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.

    2. A01EJKDE01

      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.


      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.

      Tech Tips


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

      • One turn of each adjusting tube will adjust the toe-in by approximately 11.1 mm (0.437 in.).

    5. Tighten the lock nuts while securing the adjusting tube in the order indicated below:

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

      1. Tighten the outside lock nut.

      2. Tighten the inside lock nut.

      3. Retighten the outside lock nut.

  6. ADJUST TOE-IN (for AWD)


    1. Measure the distance between each wheel disc and the center of the toe-adjusting cam.

      Difference in the distance between each wheel disc and the center of the toe-adjusting cam
      1.0 mm (0.0393 in.) or less

      If the left-right difference is larger than 1.0 mm (0.0393 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.

    2. A01EJL5E01

      Loosen the toe-adjust cam set nuts.

    3. If the distance between each wheel disc and the center of the toe-adjusting cam is not within the specified range, adjust it by following the procedures below.


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

      3. Measure the toe-in.

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

      Tech Tips


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

      • One graduation of each adjusting cam will adjust the toe-in by approximately 3.3 mm (0.130 in.).

    5. Tighten the toe-adjust cam set nuts.

      Torque:
      100 N*m  { 1020 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      The final torque must be applied under standard vehicle height conditions.
