(b) With the same condition, adjust the intervals be-
tween the rear side of center bearing housing
and the rear side of cushion at 11.5 ± 13.5 mm
(0.453 in. ± 0.531 in.) as shown in the illustra-
tion below, then torque the bolts.
Torque: 375 kg±cm (27 ft±lb, 37 N±m)
5. INSTALL CENTER SUPPORT BEARING
(a) With a vehicle unladen condition, adjust the intervals
between the rear side of boot cover and the shaft as
shown in the illustration.
(c) Check that the center line of the bracket is at right
angles at the shaft axial direction.

REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT
1. MAKE FOLLOWING CHECKS AND CORRECT ANY
PROBLEMS
(a) Check the tires for wear, size and proper inflation
pressure.
Cold tire inflation pressure:
FWD/SV21 and 4WD 2.1 kg/cm2 (30 psi, 206 kPa)
FWD/VZV21 1.9 kg/cm2 (27 psi, 186 kPa)
(b) Check the front wheel bearings for looseness.
(e) Check the wheel runout.
Lateral runout: Less than 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
(d) Check the front suspension for looseness.
(e) Check that the front shock absorber function properly
by using the standard bounce test.
If the clearance of the vehicle is not standard try to
level by locking it down. If still not correct, check
for bad springs or suspension parts.
HINT: Before inspecting wheel alignment, adjust
chassis ground clearance to specification. 2. MEASURE CHASSIS GROUND CLEARANCE
Chassis ground clearance: m m (in.)
3. INSPECT CAMBER

5. ADJUST TOE±IN
(a) Measure the distance between each wheel disc and
corner of the cam bracket and confirm that both are
the same.
Left±right error: Less than 3 mm (0.12 in. )
If the left±right error is greater than 3 mm (0.12 in.)
adjust following the procedures below.
wIf the toe±in is out of the standard toward toe±out
side, lengthen the shorter arm by the cam.
wIf the toe±in is out of the standard toward toe±in side,
shorten the longer arm by the cam.
(b) Measure the toe±in.
Toe±in: Inspection standard mm (in.)
If the left±right error is within specifications but the
overall toe±in is not, lengthen or shorten both arms
an equal amount by turning the two cams in the
opposite direction, until the adjustment standard is
obtained.
HINT: The toe±in will change about
1.5 mm (0.059 in.) for FWD
4.5 mm (0.177 in.) for 4WD
with each graduation of the cam (one side). 4. INSPECT TOE±IN

INSPECTION OF AXLE HUB BEARING
1. ROTATE BRAKE DRUM
Rotate the drum by hand, if the movement is not smooth and
free, replace the axle hub bearing.
2. REMOVE BRAKE DRUM
3. CHECK BEARING PLAY AXIAL DIRECTION
Limit: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If not within specification, disassembly and inspection the
axle hub assembly.
REMOVAL OF REAR AXLE HUB AND
CARRIER
1. REMOVE BRAKE DRUM
2. DISCONNECT BRAKE TUBE FROM BACKING PLATE
Using SST, disconnect the brake tube from the backing
plate.
SST 09751±36011
3. REMOVE REAR AXLE HUB
(a) Remove the four axle hub and carrier mounting
bolts.
(b) Remove the axle hub and brake assembly.
(c) Remove the O±ring from the backing plate.
4. REMOVE REAR AXLE CARRIER
(a) Disconnect the strut rod from the axle carrier.
(b) Disconnect the No. 1 and No.2 suspension arm from the
axle carrier.
