Use commercially available computerized four wheel
alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment
(caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Check the camber angle.

NOTE:

• There are two types of rear upper arms. Those

that are marked with ‘‘C’’ (A), and those with no
marks. Be sure to use the correct alignment
specifications.

• If the measurement is within specification,

measure the toe-in.

• If the measurement for the front camber is

outside the specification, go to front camber
adjustment.

• If the measurement for the rear camber is outside

the specification, check for bent or damaged
suspension components.

The front camber can be adjusted by exchanging one or
both of the damper pinch bolts with a smaller diameter
adjusting bolt. The difference between the adjusting
bolt diameter and the pinch bolt hole diameter allows
for a small range of adjustment.

1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with

safety stands in the proper locations (see page
1-11).

2. Remove the front wheels.

3. Loosen the damper pinch bolts (A), and adjust the

camber angle by moving the bottom of the damper
within the range of the damper pinch bolt free play.

4. Tighten the damper pinch bolts to the specified

torque.

5. Clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the

inside of the wheel, then install the front wheels.

6. Lower the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the

front of the vehicle up and down several times to
stabilize the suspension.

Replace.

44 N·m (4.5 kgf·m, 33 lbf·ft)

7. Measure the camber angle.

• If the measurement is within specification,

measure the toe.

• If the measurement is not within specification, go

to step 8.

8. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with

safety stands in the proper locations (see page
1-11).

9. Remove the front wheels.

10. Replace the damper pinch bolts with the adjusting

bolts (A), and adjust the camber angle.

NOTE:

• Install the washers (B) included adjusting bolt set

between the front damper and self-locking nut.

• The camber angle can be adjusted up to

25 ’

(center of tolerance) by replacing one damper
pinch bolt with the adjusting bolt.

• The camber angle can be adjusted up to 50 ’ by

replacing both damper pinch bolts with the
adjusting bolts.

11. Tighten the adjusting bolts to the specified torque

value.

12. Clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the

inside of the wheel, then install the front wheels.

13. Lower the vehicle to the ground, and bounce the

front of the vehicle up and down several times to
stabilize the suspension.

14. Measure the camber angle. If the camber angle is

not within specification, repeat steps 8 through 13
to readjust the camber angle. If the camber
measurement is correct, measure toe-in, and adjust
it if necessary.

Use commercially available computerized four wheel
alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment
(caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Set the steering column to the middle tilt and

center telescopic positions. Center the steering
wheel spokes, and install a steering wheel holder
tool.

2. Check the toe with the wheels pointed straight

ahead.

• If adjustment is required, go to step 3.
• If no adjustment is required, go to rear toe

inspection/adjustment.

3. Loosen the tie-rod locknuts (A) while holding the

flat surface sections (B) of the tie-rod end with a
wrench, and turn both tie-rods (C) until the front toe
is within specifications.

4. After adjusting, tighten the tie-rod locknuts to the

specified torque value. Reposition the rack-end
boot if it is twisted or displaced.

5. Go to rear toe inspection/adjustment.

Replace.

(7.5 kgf·m, 54 lbf·ft)

Use commercially available computerized four wheel
alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment
(caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect

measurement.

2. Check the toe.

• If adjustment is required, go to step 3.
• If no adjustment is required, go to turning angle

inspection.

3. Hold the adjusting bolt (A) on the trailing arm (B),

and loosen the self-locking nut (C).

4. Replace the self-locking nut with a new one, and

lightly tighten it.

NOTE:

• Always use a new self-locking nut whenever it

has been tightened to the specified torque.

• Reassemble the adjusting bolt and the adjusting

cam plate with the eccentric facing up.

5. Adjust the rear toe by turning the adjusting bolt

until the toe is correct.

6. Tighten the self-locking nut to the specified torque

value while holding the adjusting bolt.

Use commercially available computerized four wheel
alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment
(caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Turn the wheel right and left while applying the

brake, and measure the turning angle of both
wheels.

2. If the measurement is not within the specifications,

even up both sides of the tie-rod threaded section
length while adjusting the front toe. If it is correct,
but the turning angle is not within the
specifications, check for bent or damaged
suspension components.

Replace.
