WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Note. The front and rear wheel alignment must be measured and/or adjusted at once to obtain accuracy. Measure and/or adjust the rear wheel alignment together with the front.

Adjustment

Turn the tie-rod to adjust the steering angle of both inner and outer wheels.

CAUTIONCheck the toe-in. Correct the boot if it is twisted.

Scheme 8: Inspection
  1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
  2. Move the vehicle 3 to 4 meters directly forward.
  3. Determine the locus of both front and rear axles.
  4. Measure the distance "L" between center line of loci of the axles. Thrust angle: Less than 20' when "L" is equal to or less than 15 mm (59 in).

Scheme 11
  1. Make the thrust angle adjustments by turning toe-in adjusting bolts of rear suspension equally in the same direction.
  2. When one rear wheel is adjusted in a toe-in direction, adjust the other rear wheel equally in toe-out direction, in order to make the thrust angle adjustment.
  3. When the left and right adjusting bolts are turned incrementally by one graduation in the same direction, the thrust angle will change approximately 16' ["L" is almost equal to 12 mm (0.472 in)]. Thrust angle: 0°+/-20' NOTE: Thrust angle refers to a mean value of left and right rear wheel toe angles in relation to the vehicle body center line. Vehicle is driven straight in the thrust angle direction while swinging in the oblique direction depending on the degree of the mean thrust angle. Thrust angle: r = (alpha - beta)/2 alpha: Right rear wheel toe-in angle beta: Left rear wheel toe-in angle NOTE: Here, use only positive toe-in values from each wheel to substitute for alpha and beta in the equation.

Scheme 13: POOR RIDE COMFORT
  1. Large rebound shock
  2. Rocking of vehicle continues too long after running over bump and/or hump.
  3. Large shock in bumping

  1. Lift-up the vehicle.
  2. Remove the under cover.
  3. Remove the bolt cover.
  4. Remove the clip.
  5. Remove the sub frame. NOTE: Loosen bolt (1) and leave a few threads caught, then remove the bolts in the order of (2), (3), (4), (5), and (6).
