Rear Wheel Alignment





Before checking rear wheel alignment, be sure to make a preliminary inspection.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Aluminum wheel
1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage
3. If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
Testing and Inspection

4. Check front wheel bearings for looseness.
5. Check front suspension for looseness.
6. Check steering linkage for looseness.
7. Check that front shock absorbers work properly.
8. Check vehicle posture (Unladen).

Steel wheel





1. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage. If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from steel wheel and mount wheel on a tire balance machine.
b. Set two dial indicators as shown in the illustration.
c. Set each dial indicator to 0.
d. Rotate wheel and check dial indicators at several points around the circumference of the wheel.
e. Calculate runout at each point as shown below.
Radial runout = (A ± B)/2
Lateral runout = (C ± D)/2
f. Select maximum positive runout value and the maximum negative value. Add the two values to determine total runout. In case a positive or negative value is not available, use the maximum value (negative or positive) for total runout. If the total runout value exceeds the limit, replace steel wheel.
Wheel runout: Refer to SDS.
Specifications

3. Check front wheel bearings for looseness.
5. Check steering linkage for looseness.
6. Check that front shock absorbers work properly.
7. Check vehicle posture (Unladen).

CAMBER





- Measure camber of both right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and adjust in accordance with the following procedures.
Camber: Refer to SDS.
Wheel Alignment

Fig. 1 Rear Camber Adjustment Pin Location.:

If camber is not within specification, adjust by turning the adjusting bolt.
a. Turn the adjusting bolt to adjust.
Camber changes about 5' with each graduation of the adjusting bolt.
b. Tighten to the specified torque.
Tightening Torque: 69 - 88 Nm (7.0 - 9.0 kg-m, 51 - 65 ft. lbs.)

TOE-IN





Measure toe-in using following procedure. If out of specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear suspension parts.

WARNING: Always perform following procedure on a flat surface. Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before pushing 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 the tread (rear side) of both tires at the same height of hub center. This mark is a measuring point.
4. Measure distance "A" (rear side).





5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance "B" (front side).
Total toe-in: Refer to Specifications.





7. Adjust toe-in by turning adjusting bolts.
Toe changes about 1.5 mm (0.059 inch) [One side] with each graduation of the adjusting bolt.
8. Tighten to the specified torque.
Tightening Torque: 69 - 88 Nm (7.0 - 9.0 kg-m, 51 - 65 ft. lbs.)
