116Chapter 6 Rear Suspension SystemSection 1 Rear Suspension SystemRear suspension structure descriptionThis model uses strut independent rear suspension with stabilizer bar.
Rear suspension consists of the parallel front and rear double transverse arms, trailing rod, rear stabilizer bar
and rear strut assembly. The shock absorber and cone coil spring are arranged eccentrically.
See the table below for the major technical parameters of the rear suspensionProblem Symptoms TableUse the table below to help you find the cause of the problem. The numbers indicate the priority of the likely
cause of the problem. Check each part in order. If necessary, replace these parts.Items Parameter Items Parameter

118Section 3 Rear Wheel AlignmentInspection1. Inspect tire
Standard inflation pressure: 220 Kpa
2. Inspect rear wheel toe-in
If the rear wheel toe-in is not within the specification, adjust it via rear
wheel toe-in adjusting cam.
3. Inspect the camber
Notice: If the camber is not within the specification, check the suspension parts for damage/low
performance. Replace it if necessary.Toe-in C - D: 1～
