SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDUEZ$
REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
The rear suspension assembly must be free of worn, loosen or
damaged parts prior to measurement of rear wheel alignment.
Standard value: Toe-in (Left-right difference)
0+3 mm (Ok.118
in.)
Camber-45’ f 30’
NOTE
The rear wheel alignment is set at the factory and cannot be
adjusted. If toe-in or camber is not within the standard value, replace
bent or damaged parts.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT. PROCEDURES
REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION mm
The rear suspension assembly must be free of worn, loosen or
damaged parts prior to measurement of wheel alignment.
TOE-IN
(1) Measure the toe-in with a toe-in gauge.
Standard value:
3+3 mm (.12+.12 in.)
(2) If the toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust it by moving the mounting bolts located on the crossmember
side of the trailing arm.
NOTE
Make the adjustment by moving the left and the right bolts
equally.
Movement of one division on the scale will cause toe-in
variation of about 2 mm
(.08 in.).
CAMBER
(1) Measure the camber with a camber/caster/kingpin gauge.
Standard value:
-1”OO’f30’
(2) If the camber is not within the standard value, adjust it bymoving the mounting bolt located on the crossmember
side of the upper arm.
NOTE
Movement of one division on the scale will cause camber
variation of about 15’.
Caution
1. As toe-in will vary 0.9 mm LO35 in.) for every
camber scale adjustment, adjust the toe after
adjusting camber.
2. The difference between the left and the right camber shall be less than 15’.
