3. INSPECT CAMBER

   Note:

   Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

   1. 

      *a	Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge

      Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge.

   2. Inspect the camber.

      Camber (Unloaded Vehicle)

      -	Engine	Tire Size	Camber Inclination	Right-left Difference
      for Hatchback	1ZR-FAE 8NR-FTS	195/65R15 205/55R16	-1°00' +/- 0°45' (-1.00° +/-0.75°) -0°40' +/- 0°45' (-0.67° +/-0.75°)*a	0°45' (0.75°) or less
      		225/45R17	-1°00' +/- 0°45' (-1.00° +/-0.75°)
      for Wagon	1ZR-FAE 8NR-FTS	195/65R15 205/55R16 225/45R17	-1°00' +/- 0°45' (-1.00° +/-0.75°)

      *a: for Rough Road Package

      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.

4. 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 (for CVT).

   3. Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to neutral (for Manual Transaxle).

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

   5. 

      *a	Tread Center Mark
      *b	Dimension B
      	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).

   6. 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.

   7. 

      *a	Dimension A
      	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)

      Engine	Specified Condition	Right-left Difference
      1ZR-FAE 8NR-FTS	C + D: 0°09' +/- 0°10' (0.15° +/- 0.17°) C + D: 0°02' +/- 0°10' (0.03° +/- 0.17°)*a	0°45' (0.75°) or less
      	B - A: 1.8 +/- 2.0 mm (0.0709 +/- 0.0787 in.) B - A: 0.5 +/- 2.0 mm (0.0197 +/- 0.0787 in.)*a	1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) or less

      *a: for Rough Road Package

      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 rear No. 1 suspension arms.

5. ADJUST TOE-IN

   1. 

      Loosen the nut of the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly (on the rear suspension member side).

      Note:

      Hold the rear suspension toe adjust cam sub-assembly while rotating the nut.

   2. 

      Rotate the rear suspension toe adjust cam sub-assembly to adjust the toe-in.

      Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle)

      Engine	Specified Condition	Right-left Difference
      1ZR-FAE 8NR-FTS	C + D: 0°09' +/- 0°10' (0.15° +/- 0.17°) C + D: 0°02' +/- 0°10' (0.03° +/- 0.17°)*a	0°45' (0.75°) or less
      	B - A: 1.8 +/- 2.0 mm (0.0709 +/- 0.0787 in.) B - A: 0.5 +/- 2.0 mm (0.0197 +/- 0.0787 in.)*a	1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) or less

      *a: for Rough Road Package

      Tip:

      Rotating the rear suspension toe adjust cam sub-assembly by one notch changes the toe by approximately 3.5 mm (0.138 in.).

   3. 

      Tighten the nut of the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly (on the rear suspension member side).

      100 N*m

      1020 kgf*cm

      74 ft.*lbf

      Note:

      • Hold the rear suspension toe adjust cam sub-assembly while rotating the nut.

      • Make sure that all tires of the vehicle are on the ground and the vehicle is unloaded.
