CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

If a wheel alignment has been performed, 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:


  • Perform yaw rate and acceleration sensor and roll rate and vertical acceleration sensor zero point calibration.

    INSPECT CAMBER

    Note:

    Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.


    1. B0065BPC10
      *a Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge

      Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge.

    2. Inspect the camber.

      Camber (Unloaded Vehicle)
      Camber Inclination Right-left Difference
      -1°32' +/- 0°45' (-1.53° +/- 0.75°) 0°45' (0.75°) or less
      Tip:

      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.

    INSPECT TOE-IN

    Note:

    Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.


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

    2. Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N.

    3. Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step A)

    4. B0065YBC02
      *a Tread Center Mark
      *b Dimension B
      B0067U9 Front of the Vehicle

      Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of the rear wheels and measure the distance between the marks (dimension B).

    5. Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the rear wheels to rotate 180°. Use the rear tire valve as a reference point.

      Tip:

      Do not allow the wheels to rotate more than 180°. If the wheels rotate more than 180°, perform the procedure from step A again.

    6. B0066TZC02
      *a Dimension A
      B0067U9 Front of the Vehicle

      Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front of the rear wheels (dimension A).

      Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)
      Specified Condition
      C + D: 0°15' +/- 0°10' (0.25° +/- 0.17°)
      B - A: 3.0 +/- 2.0 mm (0.118 +/- 0.0787 in.)
      Tip:

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

      If the toe-in is not within the specified range, adjust it at the steering rack ends.

    ADJUST TOE-IN


    1. B0066TD

      Measure the thread lengths of the right and left steering rack ends.

      Standard Difference
      1.5 mm (0.0591 in.) or less

    2. Remove the rear steering rack boot clips.

    3. Loosen the rear steering tie rod assembly lock nuts.

    4. Adjust the steering rack ends if the difference in thread length between the right and left steering rack ends is not within the specified range.


      1. If the toe-in measurement is greater than the specified range (too much toe-out), extend the shorter steering rack end so that the difference in length is within the specified range.

      2. If the toe-in measurement is less than the specified range (too much toe-in), shorten the longer steering rack end so that the difference in length is within the specified range.

      3. Measure the toe-in.

    5. Turn the right and left steering rack ends by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.

      Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)
      Specified Condition
      C + D: 0°15' +/- 0°10' (0.25° +/- 0.17°)
      B - A: 3.0 +/- 2.0 mm (0.118 +/- 0.0787 in.)
      Tip:

      Perform adjustments so that the value is as close as possible to the median of the specified range.

    6. Tighten the rear steering tie rod assembly lock nuts.

    7. Place the rear steering rack boots on the seats and install the rear steering rack boot clips.

    INSPECT REAR SUSPENSION


    1. Inspect the rear suspension member sub-assembly.


      1. B00650S

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

        Standard
        496.5 to 503.5 mm (1.63 to 1.65 ft.)

        If the distance is not as specified, replace the rear suspension member sub-assembly.

        Tip:

        Refer to the instructions for removal and installation of the rear suspension member sub-assembly.

    2. Inspect the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.


      1. B0065RE

        Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.

        Standard
        443.6 to 444.6 mm (1.456 to 1.458 ft.)

        If the distance is not as specified, replace the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.

        Tip:

        Refer to the instructions for removal and installation of the rear No. 2 suspension arm assembly.

    3. Inspect the rear No. 2 upper control arm assembly.


      1. B00664N

        Measure the distance between the centers of the 2 installation bolts of the rear No. 2 upper control arm assembly.

        Standard
        298.5 to 299.5 mm (11.76 to 11.79 in.)

        If the distance is not as specified, replace the rear No. 2 upper control arm assembly.

        Tip:

        Refer to the instructions for removal and installation of the rear No. 2 upper control arm assembly.
