Rear suspension - Rear wheel alignmentRear wheel alignmentAdjustment1. Check tire (see Page 109).
2. Measure vehicle height (see Page 87).Note: adjust vehicle height to standard value before checking
vehicle tire alignment.3. Inspection of toe-inToe-in:
(General road)
If toe-in is not within specification, check and replace relevant suspension parts.4. Inspection of camber(a) Install camber-caster-kingpin gauge or erect wheel alignment tester.
(b) Check camber.
Camber:
(general road)Toe-in (Total) (Coarse road)
Toe-in(Total)For camber could not be adjusted, therefore check suspension components are damaged or worn if
camber measuring value is not within specification, and replace parts if necessary.Camber27’45’Left-right error’(Coarse road)
