Suspension and Axle (SA) section
Rear Wheels
Suspension and Axle (SA) section

Before repairing the body, remove the SRS parts if, during repair, shocks are likely to be applied to
the sensors due to vibrations of the body or direct tapping with tools or other parts.

Do not expose the SRS parts directly to hot air or flames
NOTICE:
1) The maximum ambient temperature tolerance is 120
°C (248°F) for the front airbag sensor,
105
°C (221°F) for the center airbag sensor assembly and 93°C (200°F) for the steering wheel
pad, and front passenger airbag assembly. If it is possible that the ambient temperature may
reach or exceed the temperature limit, remove the sensors and the steering wheel pad from the
vehicle or protect them with a hot insulation material before staring work.
2) Prior to welding, remove adjacent, SRS parts form tire vehicle or protect them with fire±proof
covers.

If the vehicle is damaged, visually inspect for damage to the steering wheel pad using the inspection
procedures described in section RS of the repair manual for the relevant model year.

When removing or handling the steering wheel pad, and front passenger airbag assembly keep the
pad upper surface facing upward. Also, lock the lock lever of the twin lock type connector at the rear
of the pad and take care not to damage the connector.
(Storing the pad or front passenger airbag assembly with its metallic surface up may lead to a seri-
ous accident if the airbag inflates for some reason.)

Store the steering wheel pad and the front passenger airbag assembly where the ambient tempera-
ture remains below 93°C (200°F), without high humidity and away from electrical noise.

Be careful not to let painting materials contact the SRS parts.

Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the NOTICES.

Store the airbag assembly where the ambient temperature remains below 93°C (200°F), without
high humidity and away from electrical noise.
2. BRAKE SYSTEM
The brake system is one of the most important safety components. Always follow the directions and
notes given in section BR of the repair manual for the relevant model year when handling brake sys-
tem parts.
NOTICE: When repairing the brake master cylinder or TRAC system, bleed the air out of the TRAC
system.
3. DRIVE TRAIN AND CHASSIS
The drive train and chassis are components that can have great effects on the running performance
and vibration resistance of the vehicle. After installing components in the sections listed in the table
below, perform alignments to ensure correct mounting angles and dimensions. Particularly accurate
repair of the body must also be done to ensure correct alignment.
HINT: Correct procedures and special tools are required for alignment. Always follow the directions
given in the repair manual for the relevant model year during alignment and section DI of this manual.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1. BASIC DIMENSIONS
(a) There are two types of dimensions in the diagram.
(Three±dimensional distance)

Straight±line distance between the centers of two
measuring points.
(Two±dimensional distance)

Horizontal distance in forward/rearward between
the centers of two measuring points.

The height from an imaginary standard line.
(b) In cases in which only one dimension is given, left
and right are symmetrical.
(c) The dimensions in the following drawing indicate
actual distance. Therefore, please use the dimen-
sions as a reference.
2. MEASURING
(a) Basically, all measurements are to be done with a
tracking gauge. For portions where it is not possible
to use a tracking gauge, a tape measure should be
used.
(b) Use only a tracking gauge that has no looseness in
the body, measuring plate, or pointers.
HINT:
1. The height of the left and right pointers must be equal.
2. Always calibrate the tracking gauge before measuring or
after adjusting the pointer height.
3. Take care not to drop the tracking gauge or otherwise
shock it.
4. Confirm that the pointers are securely in the holes.
(c) When using a tape measure, avoid twists and
bends in the tape.
(d) When tracking a diagonal measurement from the
front spring support inner hole to the suspension
member upper rear installation hole, measure
along the front spring support panel surface.
