REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT

Note

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. Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor.

  3. 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.


    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 front lower suspension arm bushing set bolt center
      C
      Ground clearance of rear wheel center
      D
      Ground clearance of rear No. 2 suspension arm adjust bolt center
      Vehicle Height (Unloaded Vehicle)
      Model Front A - B Rear C - D
      2WD 123.2 mm (4.85 in.) 50.8 mm (2.00 in.)
      AWD (w/o Air Suspension) 124.6 mm (4.91 in.) 53.0 mm (2.09 in.)
      AWD (w/ Air Suspension) 120 mm (4.72 in.) 58 mm (2.28 in.)

  4. INSPECT CAMBER

    Camber (Unloaded Vehicle)
    Model Camber Inclination Right-left Difference
    2WD -0°35' +/- 45' (-0.58° +/- 0.75°) 45' (0.75°) or less
    AWD (w/o Air Suspension) -0°35' +/- 45' (-0.58° +/- 0.75°)
    AWD (w/ Air Suspension) -0°49' +/- 45' (-0.82° +/- 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.

  5. INSPECT TOE-IN

    *1 Front of the Vehicle
    Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)
    Model Specified Condition
    w/o Air Suspension C + D: 0°05' +/- 0°10' (0.08° +/- 0.17°)
    B - A: 1.0 +/- 2.0 mm (0.0394 +/- 0.0787 in.)
    w/ Air Suspension C + D: 0°13' +/- 0°10' (0.21° +/- 0.17°)
    B - A: 2.5 +/- 2.0 mm (0.0984 +/- 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.

  6. ADJUST TOE-IN


    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 (0.0394 in.) or less

      If the left-right difference is not within the specified range, adjust it by following the procedure below.

      *2 RH Side

      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 procedure 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 the 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 2.1 mm (0.0827 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.

  7. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD

  8. PERFORM YAW RATE AND ACCELERATION SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION
