ALIGNMENT / HANDLING DIAGNOSIS  REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT  INSPECTION  


CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

For vehicles equipped with VSC, if a wheel alignment has been performed, or 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:

Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor.



PROCEDURE

Hide 3.INSPECT CAMBER

NOTICE:

Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.

*a Camber-caster-kingpin Gauge


Install a camber-caster-kingpin gauge.


b.

Inspect the camber.

Camber (Unloaded Vehicle):
Camber Inclination Right-left Difference
-1°28' +/- 0°30' (-1.47° +/- 0.50°) 0°30' (0.50°) or less


HINT:

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



Hide 4.INSPECT TOE-IN

NOTICE:

Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.


a.

Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.


b.

Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to N (for CVT and Automatic Transaxle).


c.

Release the parking brake and move the shift lever to neutral (for Manual Transaxle).


d.

Push the vehicle straight ahead approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.). (Step A)

Front of the Vehicle


Put tread center marks on the rearmost points of the rear wheels and measure the distance between the marks (dimension B).


f.

Slowly push the vehicle straight ahead to cause the rear wheels to rotate 180°. Use the rear tire valve as a reference point.

HINT:

Do not allow the wheels to rotate more than 180°. If the wheels rotate more than 180°, perform the procedure from step A again.

*a Dimension A
V100135

Front of the Vehicle


Measure the distance between the tread center marks on the front of the rear wheels (dimension A).

Toe-in (Unloaded Vehicle):
Specified Condition Right-left Difference
C + D: 0°09' +/- 0°14' (0.15° +/- 0.24°) -
B - A: 1.6 +/- 2.5 mm (0.0630 +/- 0.0984 in.) 7.6 mm (0.299 in.) or less


HINT:

Measure "B - A" only when "C + D" cannot be measured.


If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.
