Rear Wheel Alignment

SUSPENSION: REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT: ADJUSTMENT

NOTICE: For Zero Point Calibration information, please refer to: TSB T-SB-0020-8 (3/25/08).

ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: For vehicles equipped with VSC, if the wheel alignment has been adjusted, and if suspension or underbody components have been removed/installed or replaced, be sure to perform the following initialization procedure in order for the system to function normally:

1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.
2. Reconnect the cable to the negative battery terminal.
3. Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor and test mode inspection.

1. INSPECT TIRE
(a) Inspect the tire Component Tests and General Diagnostics.
2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT
(a) Measure the Vehicle height Service and Repair.

NOTE: Before inspecting wheel alignment, adjust the vehicle height to the specified value.

3. INSPECT TOE-IN





(a) Inspect the toe-in.
Toe-in:





HINT:
- Measure "C - D" only when "A + B" cannot be measured.
- If toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.

4. ADJUST TOE-IN





(a) Measure the lengths of the right and left No. 2 suspension arms.
No. 2 suspension arm length difference:
1.5 mm (0.06 in.) or less
If the left-right difference is larger than 1.5 mm (0.06 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.





(b) Loosen the 2 lock nuts.
(c) Turn the right and left adjusting tubes by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

HINT:
- Try to adjust toe-in to the center value.
- One turn of each adjusting tube will adjust toe-in by approximately 1.2°(1°12'), 10.8 mm (0.425 in.).

(d) Torque the 2 lock nuts.
Torque: 56 Nm (570 kgf-cm, 41 ft-lbf)
5. INSPECT CAMBER





HINT: Camber is not adjustable. If the measurement is not within the specification, inspect the suspension parts for damage and/or wear, and replace them if necessary.

6. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD
7. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

NOTE: Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal for more than 2 seconds.

8. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

NOTE: When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Repair Instruction - Initialization.

9. PERFORM YAW RATE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

HINT: Perform yaw rate sensor zero point calibration Programming and Relearning.

10. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION

HINT: Check steering angle sensor zero point calibration C1290.
