NOTE(1) Make the adjustment with the assist link mounting bolt
(crossmember side) loosened.
(2) The difference between the right and left wheels should be30’ or less.

NOTE
(1) The difference between right and left wheels should be 3mm (.I2 in.) or less.
(2) Left wheel: Clockwise (toe-in)
Right wheel: Clockwise (toe-out)
One graduation changes toe by about 4.8 mm

Caution1. Adjust the eccentric bolt within 90” from the central
position.
2.Adjust camber and toe, in that order, and, if camber isadjusted, be sure to adjust toe also.

4. Check the bearing’s end play.
Place a dial gauge against the hub surface; then move the
hub in the axial direction and check whether or not there is
end play.Limit: 0.05 mm
(.002 in.) or less
NOTEIf the limit value is exceeded, the lock nut should be
tightened to the specified torque and check the end play
again.5. Replace the rear hub bearing unit if an adjustment cannot
be made to within the limit.

4.After turning the hub a few times to seat the bearing, attach
a spring balance to the hub bolt, and, pulling at a 90” anglefrom the hub bolt, measure to determine whether or not
the rotary-sliding resistance of the rear hub (the
rotary-sliding torque of the rear hub) is the standard value.
Limit:
Rear hub rotary-sliding resistance
