REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION

Note

For vehicles equipped with VSC, if the wheel alignment has been adjusted, and 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:


  1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.

  2. Reconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

  2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

    A01CCYQE01

    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.


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

    2. Measure the vehicle height.

      Measurement points
      A
      Ground clearance of front wheel center
      B
      Ground clearance of No. 1 lower suspension arm bushing set bolt center
      C
      Ground clearance of rear wheel center
      D
      Ground clearance of rear trailing arm bushing set bolt center
      Vehicle Height (Unloaded Vehicle)
      Front A - B Rear C - D
      93 mm (3.66 in.) -40 mm (1.57 in.)

  3. INSPECT CAMBER


    1. Install the camber-caster-kingpin gauge or place the vehicle on the wheel alignment tester.

    2. Inspect the camber.

      Camber (Unloaded Vehicle)
      Camber Inclination Right-left Difference

      -1°30' +/- 45'

      (-1.50° +/- 0.75°)

      		 30' (0.5°) or less

      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


    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. A01CCPWE01

      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° using the rear tire valve as a reference point.

      Tech Tips

      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. A01CDM0E01

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

      Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)
      Item Specified Condition

      Toe-in

      (total)

      C + D: 0°14' +/- 18' ( 0.24° +/- 0.30°)

      B - A: 3 +/- 4 mm (0.118 +/- 0.157 in.)

      Tech Tips


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

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