HINT:
At the time of installation, please refer to the following items.
Coat gear oil to the inboard joint shaft and differential
case sliding surface.
Before installing the drive shaft, set the snap ring opening
side facing downward.
Whether or not the inboard joint shaft is making contact
with the pinion shaft can be known by the sound or feeling
when driving it in.
After installation, check that there is 2 - 3 mm (0.08 - 0.12
in.) of play in the axial direction.
After installation, check that the drive shaft cannot be re-
moved by hand.
(b) Using a screwdriver, remove the snap ring from the in-
board joint shaft.

5. INSPECT TOE-IN
Toe-in:
Toe-in
(total)A + B: 0° ± 12' (0° ± 0.2°)
C - D: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.08 in.)
If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the rack
ends.
6. ADJUST TOE-IN
(a) Remove the rack boot set clips.
(b) Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
(c) Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to
adjust the toe-in.
HINT:
Try to adjust the toe-in to the center of the specified value.
(d) Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends
are the same.
Rack end length difference: 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less
(e) Torque the tie rod end lock nuts.
Torque: 74 N´m (750 kgf´cm, 54 ft´lbf)
(f) Place the boots on the seats and install the clips.
HINT:
Make sure that the boots are not twisted.
7. INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE
Turn the steering wheel fully, and measure the turning angle.
Wheel turning angle:
Inside wheel35°45' ± 1° (35.75° ± 1°)
Outside wheel: Reference31°23' (31.38°)
If the right and left inside wheel angles differ from the specified
value, check the right and left rack end lengths.

REASSEMBLY
ASSEMBLE NO. 2 LOWER SUSPENSION ARM
(a) Install the 2 lock nuts.
(b) Turn the adjusting tube and assemble the No. 2 lower
suspension arm.
HINT:
When assembling the No. 2 lower suspension arm, try to make
sure that the lengths of A and B shown in the illustration are the
same.
Maximum difference: 3.0 mm (0.118 in.)
(c) Adjust the No. 2 lower suspension arm length by turning
the adjusting tube.
Arm length: 512.3 mm (20.169 in.)
(d) Temporarily tighten the 2 lock nuts.
HINT:
After adjusting the rear wheel alignment, torque the lock nuts
(See page SA-7).

REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT
INSPECTION
1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT (See page SA-4)
2. INSTALL CAMBER-CASTER-KINGPIN GAUGE OR
POSITION VEHICLE ON WHEEL ALIGNMENT TES-
TER
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
3. INSPECT CAMBER
Camber:
Camber
Right-left error-0°43' ± 45' (-0.72° ± 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or less
If the measured value is not within the specified value, inspect
the suspension parts for damage and/or wear and replace them
if necessary because camber is not adjustable.
4. INSPECT TOE-IN
Toe-in:
Toe-in
(total)A + B: 0°24' ± 12' (0.4° ± 0.2°)
C - D: 4 ± 2 mm (0.16 ± 0.08 in.)
If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the
No. 2 lower suspension arm.
5. ADJUST TOE-IN
(a) Measure the lengths of the right and left No. 2 lower sus-
pension arms.
No. 2 lower suspension arm length difference:
1 mm (0.04 in.) or less
If the right-left difference is greater than the specified value, ad-
just the length.
(b) Loosen the lock nuts.
(c) Turn the right and left adjusting tube by an equal amount
to adjust toe-in.
HINT:
Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
One turn of the each adjusting tube will adjust the toe-in
by about 36' (0.6°, 6.7 mm, 0.264 in.).
(d) Torque the lock nuts.
Torque: 56 N´m (570 kgf´cm, 41 ft´lbf)
