Rear Wheel Alignment: Inspection
- MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT (See FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT )
- INSTALL CAMBER-CASTER-KINGPIN GAUGE OR POSITION VEHICLE ON WHEEL ALIGNMENT TESTER
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
- INSPECT CAMBER Camber:
Camber -1°11'+/- 45'(-1.18° +/- 0.75°) Right-left error 45' (0.75°) or less If the camber is not within the specified value, after the toe-in is inspected, see step 5, to adjust.
- INSPECT TOE-IN Toe-in:
Toe-in (total) A+B:0°18'+/- 12'(0.3° +/- 0.2°) C - D: 3 +/- 2 mm (0.12 +/- 0.08 in.) If the toe-in is not within the specified value, see step 5, to adjust.
- ADJUST CAMBER AND TOE-IN
- Measure the distance from the LH lower suspension arm bracket set bolt to the RH axle carrier rear side set bolt as shown in the illustration.
- Employ the same manner to the RH-LH.
- Length difference: 6 mm or less
If it exceeds the specified value, adjust it by turning the adjusting cams.
- Loosen the upper and lower arm adjusting cam set nuts.
- Adjust the camber and toe-in by turning the adjusting cams.
HINT:
Try to adjust the camber and toe-in to the center of the specified values.
- Torque the upper and lower arm adjusting cam set nuts.

- HOW TO READ ADJUSTMENT CHART EXAMPLE)
- Measure the present alignment.
- Example:
- Camber (RH): -0°26' (-0.43°)
- Camber (LH): -1°56' (-1.93°) Toe-in (total): IN 7 mm (0.28 in.)
- Mark the difference between the standard value (A) and the measured value (B) on the adjustment chart.
- Standard value:
- Camber: -1°11' (-1.18°)
- Toe-in (total): IN 3mm (0.12 in.)
- Formula: A - B = C
- Camber (RH): -1°11' - (-0°26') = -0°45'
- Camber (LH): -1°11' - (-1°56') = 0°45'
- Toe-in (total): IN3 - IN7 = OUT 4
- Toe-in (each side): OUT 2
- As shown in the example chart, read the distance from the marked point to the origin of the chart, and adjust the upper and/or lower arm adjusting cams accordingly
- Amount to turn adjusting cams (by graduation):
- Upper arm cam (RH): + (Inward) 3.2
- Lower arm cam (RH): + (Inward) 0.8
- Upper arm cam (LH): - (Outward) 2.3
- Lower arm cam (LH): + (Inward) 1.0
