NOTICE:
When installing the bolt, hold the nut not to rotate.
Be sure to empty the vehicle when fully tightening the
bolt and nut.

1.INSPECT TIRE (See page 28±1)
2.MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT (See page 26±6)
NOTICE:
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the \
specified value. 3. INSPECT TOE±IN
Toe±in:
(Normal package)
Toe±in(total)A + B: 0 18' \b 12' (0.3 \b 0.2 )
C ± D: 3.0 \b 2.0 mm (0.12 \b 0.08 in.)
(Rough road package)
Toe±in
(total)A + B: 0 ' \b 12' (0.3 \b 0.2 )
C ± D: 3.0 \b 2.0 mm (0.12 \b 0.08 in.)
If the toe±in is not within the specified value, inspect the sus-
pension parts and replace them if necessary.
4. INSPECT CAMBER
(a) Install the camber±caster±kingpin gauge or position the vehicle on\
the wheel alignment tester.
(b) Inspect the camber.
Camber:
(Normal package)
Camber
Right±left error±0 ' \b 30' (±0.9 \b 0.5 )
30' (0.5 ) or less
(Rough road package)
Camber
Right±left error±0 ' \b 30' (±0.5 \b 0.5 )
30' (0.5 ) 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.
5. ADJUST CAMBER AND TOE±IN
(a) Measure the distance from the LH rear suspension armbracket assy set bolt to the RH rear axle carrier rear side
set bolt as shown in the illustration.
(b) Measure the distance from the RH rear suspension arm bracket assy set bolt to the LH rear axle carrier rear side
set bolt as shown in the illustration.
(c) Employ the same manner to the LH±RH.
Length difference: 6.0 mm (0.236 in.) or less
If the difference exceeds the specified value, adjust it by turning
the camber adjusting cam assy and tie rod adjusting tube.

(i) How to read an adjustment chart (using examples).
(1) Measure the present alignment.
Example:
Camber (RH) : ±124' (±1.4)
Camber (LH) : ±224' (±2.4)
Toe±in (total) : IN 7.0 mm (0.276 in.)
(2) Mark the difference between the standard value (A)
and the measured value (B) on the adjustment
chart.
Standard value:
Camber: ±054' (±0.9)
Toe±in (total) : IN 3.0 mm (0.12 in.)
Formula: A ± B = C
Camber: (RH) : ±054' ± (±124') = 030'
Camber: (LH) : ±054' ± (±224') = 130'
Toe±in (total) : IN 3.0 ± IN 7.0 = OUT 4.0
Toe±in (each side) : OUT 2.0
(3) As shown in the example chart, read the distance
from the marked point to the center of the chart, and
adjust the upper and/or lower arm adjusting cams
accordingly.
Amount to turn camber adjusting cam assy (by gradu-
ation) :
