REAR DOOR ADJUSTMENT

A00JWGUE01

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.

  • Centering bolts are used to mount the door hinge to the vehicle body and door. The door cannot be adjusted with the centering bolts installed. Substitute the centering bolts with standard bolts when making adjustments.

  • The specified torque for standard bolts is shown in the standard bolt chart Click here.

      Standard
      Area Measurement Area Measurement
      A 3.7 to 6.7 mm (0.146 to 0.264 in.) B 4.2 to 7.2 mm (0.165 to 0.284 in.)
      C 3.6 to 6.6 mm (0.142 to 0.260 in.) D 4.9 to 7.9 mm (0.193 to 0.311 in.)
      E 2.7 to 5.7 mm (0.106 to 0.224 in.) F -1.5 to 1.5 mm (-0.0591 to 0.0591 in.)
      G 4.05 to 7.05 mm (0.159 to 0.278 in.) H 4.6 to 7.6 mm (0.181 to 0.299 in.)
      I 4.05 to 7.05 mm (0.159 to 0.278 in.) J 4.6 to 7.6 mm (0.181 to 0.299 in.)
      K 3.0 to 6.0 mm (0.118 to 0.236 in.) L -1.5 to 1.5 mm (-0.0591 to 0.0591 in.)
      M 2.5 to 6.5 mm (0.0984 to 0.256 in.) N -2.0 to 2.0 mm (-0.0787 to 0.0787 in.)

  2. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

    Note


    • After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal notice before proceeding with work Click here.

    • When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.
