PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
CautionEES0007C
Final tightening of bushings must be carried out under unladen condition with tyre on the ground. Oil will
shorten life of bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil.
“Unladen condition” means that fuel, coolant and lubricant are full and ready for drive. However, spare
tyre, jack, and hand tools should be unloaded.
After installing the removed suspension parts, always check wheel alignment and adjust if necessary.
Replace the caulking nut with a new one. Install a new nut without wiping the oil off before tightening.

REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEES0007F
Check axle and suspension parts for excessive play, wear, and damage.
Move rear wheels (RH/LH) to check abnormal free play.
Retighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
Check strut for oil leakage and damage.
Wheel AlignmentEES0007G
DESCRIPTION
Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. “Unladen conditions” means that fuel, coolant, and
lubricant are full. However, spare tyre, jack, and hand tools should be unloaded.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
1. Check the tyre for improper air pressure and wear.
2. Check road wheels for runout.
3. Check wheel bearing axial endplay.
4. Check strut operation.
5. Check each mounting point of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.
6. Check each link and arm for cracks, deformation, and other damage.
7. Check the vehicle posture.
CAMBER
Camber is preset at factory and cannot be adjusted.
If the camber is not within specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts.
TOE-IN
Measure toe-in using the following procedure.
Always perform following procedure on a flat surface.
Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before push-
ing it.
1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of tread (rear side) of both tyre at the
same height as hub center. This mark is a measuring points.
