REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

If the wheel alignment has been adjusted, or 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.

Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.
Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor and test mode inspection.

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

INSPECT CAMBER

Text in Illustration

*1 Gauge

Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge.

Text in Illustration
*1	Gauge

Inspect the camber.

CAMBER

Camber

for 2GR-FXE

-1°29' +/-45'

(-1.48° +/-0.75°)

for 2AR-FSE

-1°28' +/-45'

(-1.47° +/-0.75°)

Right-left error

45' (0.75°) 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 camber cannot be properly adjusted with any damaged or worn parts.

INSPECT TOE-IN

Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)

w/o Dynamic Rear Steering

w/ Dynamic Rear Steering

Except Korea

A: 0°7.7' +/-5' (0.13° +/-0.09°)

B - C: 3 +/-2 mm (0.12 +/-0.08 in.)

A: 0°7.7' +/-5' (0.13° +/-0.09°)

B - C: 3 +/-2 mm (0.12 +/-0.08 in.)

for Korea

A: 0°7.7' +/-5' (0.13° +/-0.09°)

B - C: 3 +/-2 mm (0.12 +/-0.08 in.)

A: 0°0' +/-5' (0.0° +/-0.09°)

B - C: 0 +/-2 mm (0.00 +/-0.08 in.)

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

ADJUST TOE-IN (w/o DYNAMIC REAR STEERING)
1. Loosen the toe adjust cam nut.
2. Turn the adjust cams by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.
  Tech Tips
  - Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
  - The toe-in will change by the following specifications corresponding to each graduation of the cam.
    
    Approx. 4.7 mm (0.19 in.)
3. Tighten the nut.
  
  Torque:
  
  117 N*m { 1193 kgf*cm, 86 ft.*lbf }
ADJUST TOE-IN (w/ DYNAMIC REAR STEERING)
Note

If any underbody rear suspension parts are removed and installed, replaced or adjusted, the steering wheel may become off center. Therefore, perform neutral point memorization and motor rotation angle sensor calibration.
1. Measure the thread lengths of the right and left rack ends.
  
  Standard
  
  Difference in thread length of 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less
2. Remove the rack boot set clips.
3. Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
4. Adjust the rack ends if the difference in thread length between the right and left rack ends is not within the specified range.
  1. Extend the shorter rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the inner-side.
  2. Shorten the longer rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the outer-side.
5. Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  Try to adjust toe-in to the center of the specified range.
6. Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends are the same.
7. Tighten the tie rod end lock nuts.
  
  Torque:
  
  55 N*m { 561 kgf*cm, 41 ft.*lbf }
  
  Note
  
  Temporarily tighten the lock nut while holding the hexagonal part of the steering rack end so that the lock nut and the steering rack end do not turn together. Hold the width across flat of the tie rod end and tighten the lock nut.
8. Place the boots on the seats and install the clips.
9. Perform neutral position memorization and motor rotation angle sensor calibration for the dynamic rear steering system Click here.
INSPECT REAR SUSPENSION
1. Inspect the rear suspension member.
  1. Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH and RH.
    
    Standard
    
    536.8 to 543.7 mm (1.761 to 1.783 ft.)
    
    Tech Tips
    
    If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear suspension member.
2. Inspect the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
  1. Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
    
    Standard
    
    433.5 to 434.5 mm (1.422 to 1.425 ft.)
    
    Tech Tips
    
    If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.
3. Inspect the rear upper control arm assembly.
  1. Measure the distance between the centers of the installation bolt of the upper control arm assembly rear No. 2 and the ball joint stud.
    
    Standard
    
    299 mm (11.77 in.)
    
    Tech Tips
    
    If the distance is not within the specified range, replace the rear upper control arm assembly.
4. Inspect and adjust toe-in and camber.
  1. Inspect toe-in and camber.
    
    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.
